Tr the six day bicycle races the pace
' tells terribly at the end. Man after
! man fails out exhausted. The victor
wabbles wearily over the line. In the
; business race it's the same. Man after
Arr\r\ts /\ttf ox-ViTVi*k ciir?r*Acc
i ful man is often a dyspeptic, unable to
[ enjoy success. When the stomach is
diseased there is not enough nutrition
i assimilated to sustain the body and re!
pair the daily waste of tissues. The
| result is weakness, tending to collapse.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
enables the perfect assimilation of food
by which the body is built up with
sound, healthy flesh.

Golden Medical Discovery for indigestion and
liver complaint." writes Mr. C. M. Wilson, of

your medicine?in fact, have not felt like the
iame man. Before I took the 'Golden Medical
Discovery' ! could not eat anything without
awful distress, but now I can cat anything I
wish without haviusr unpleasant feeliues. Last
summer our baby was teething and was so poor
he was almost a skeleton. We jrave him your
' Golden Medical Disovery' atid now he (s a*
healthy and well as any child. I will speak a
good word for your medicine whenever I have
an opportunity."
