It isn't much trouble
'or a really healthv man I
to be gisiil humored.
Jollity and eihiibrrant health are a pro
verbinl combination. The hearty man who
is alway laughing doesn't have any trouble
with his digestion. It has been said that
laughing makes people healthy. The truth
is tint health makes people laugh.
It i impossible to estimate the tre.
tnrndous influence of hralth upon human
character. A man with a headache will
not be in a happy, contented fiamr of
mind. A man who sii'fi rs from a vcaic
stomach and an impaired digestion wjt ,t
and grumble through the best meal ever
prepared A bilious man who is not a
bore, is deserving of a place in a miisniin
A nervous man who is not petulcnt and
fault finding is a curiosity. All these con
ditions lead to grave diseases, when tile
victim becomes not only disagreeable, but
dependent as well. A wise wife will rral
ize that while the old saying that a "man's
heart is in his stomach," is not literally
true, it is a fact thai his stomach swertens
or sours his character acemding as it is
healthy nr unhealthy. I)r. Pierce's ('.olden
Medical discovery is the best of medicines
for the conditions described. It makes
the weak stomach strong, the impaired
digestion perfect, invigorates the liver,
purifies and enriches the blood and tones
the nerves It tears down half-dead, inert
tissues and replaces them with the firm
muscular tissues of health. It build, new
and healthy nerve fibres and brain cells.
It dissipates nervousness and melancholy
and imparts mental elasticity and courage.
It is tin- best of all known medicines for
tervoii disorders.
