nlwut the time required to digest the
nveragc twelve minute lunch. The ob
ject ot the hasty lunch is to let the busy
man get back to his office work. But
when the brain is active, the stomach is
inactive for lack of necessary blood. The
natural consequence is indigestion, and
indigestion opens Uie door to many dis
eases. . .
Indigestion is cured by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
and enables the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food.

Once upon a tiino 11 donkey fell into
11 deep hole, and utter nearly starving
caught sight of a passing fox nnd im
plored, tho stranger to help him out.
"I nm too smiill to nid you," said tin
fox. "but I will iilvo you some advice.
Only a few rods away is a big strong
elephant. Call to him and ho will get
you out iu a jiffy."
After tho fox had gonn tho donkey
thus reasoned; "I nm very weak from
want of nourishment. Every move I
make is just so much additional loss of
strength. If I raUo my voice to call
tho elephant I shall bo weaker yet.
No, I will not wasto my substance in
that way. It is tho duty of the ele
phant to como without calling."
So the donkey settled himsolf back,
and eventually starvoi to death.
Long aftorwaras, tno iox on passing
tho nolo saw the whitened skeleton,
and remarked:
"If it bo thi.t tho souls of animals are
transmigrated into men, that donkey
will become one of th fee merchants
who can never afford to advertise."
