Make your stomach sound and you insure your health. How? As thousands of others have done by the use of Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's the one sure medicine for the stomach. It heals. It strengthens. "Words fail to express what I suffered for three yean, with cold chills, palpitation of heart, shortness of breath, and Jow spir its," write Mr.-. A.
