TTIae Toiler in Our
Factories
No workmen in the world can do so much
or use the same intelligence that our own
American workmen and women are capa
ble of. That is why
America is now beatinjf
the world in manufac
tures ; all due to the
brain and muscle of our
Yankee men and
women.
Unfortunately where
there is r moke, dirt and
dust and little sunlight
there also can be found
the perms of disease.
Nature's great disinfec
tant is Miulight. It is
in the factory, the work
shop, the office, that
nit n and women suffer
from diseases which arc
in the dust and the bad
air. Such disease
jreinn enter into the
blood in two ways,
either through the
lungs or. stomach.
After years of experi'
ence in an active prac
tice. Dr. R. V. Tierce.
of Buffalo, N Y., discovered a remedy
that is a blood-maker and tissue-builder,
at the same time alleviates a cough. He
called it Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical D1S-'
covery an alterative extract that assist
in the digestion and assimilation of the
food so that the blood gets its elements
from the products of digestion, the liver at
the same time is started into activity and
there is perfect elimination of waste mat
ter. The germs of grip, malaria, catarrh
or consumption find a fertile field if the
body is not kept in perfect order and
the "blood pure.
Because the stomach is diseased there
is a diminution of the red corpuscles of
the blood. This is why one is sleepless,
languid, nervous and irritable. Sensitive
stomachs groan aloud at the irritating cod
liver oils, but they will get all the food
elements the tissues require by using the
"Golden Medical Discovery."
The "Discovery" is absolutely a non
alcoholic and non-narcotic medicine.
There is nothing else "just as good."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Tellets, the best
laxative for old and young people. They
cure constipation and biliousness.

I was all run down from nervous
ness and overwork and had to resign
my position and take a rest. I
found that I was not paining my
strength and health as fast as I
could wish, and as your Wine of
Cardui was recommended as such a
good medicine for the ilia of our
sex, I bought a bottle and began
using it. 1 was satisfied with the
results from the use of the first
bottle, and took t hree more and then
found I was restored to good health
and strength and able to take up
my work with renewed vigor. I
consider it a fine tonic and excellent
for worn-out, nervous condition,
and am pleased to endorte it.
