Procrastination is the Thief of Health. 

Nature is a very wise and careful mother but she is dumb. She speaks by signs. The man or woman who does not heed her signs or fails to understand them must pay the penalty. Some day there will be a step over the line beyond which Nature's warnings cease and her penalties begin. For instance there is a man who for years never knew he had a stomach, it performed its work so perfectly. Some day after eating he has a little sour or bitter rising in the throat. He does not heed it. Later he feels an uncomfortable fullness after eating, a distress in the region of the stomach and perhaps he is uncomfortable enough to wonder whether he ought not to  “do something" for himself. But he does not get any farther than wondering. He becomes sleepless, loses flesh, and has other warnings of the development of disease but he still tries to work. Some day he collapses, drops down perhaps at his task and when he comes to himself in bed he is seriously ill. He is paying the penalty for his heedlessness of Nature's warnings. Whenever there are undue fullness after eating, sour or bitter eructations, belchings, and kindred symptoms it is the sign that disease is fastening on the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts. Disease unless checked is always progressive, and it is only a question of time in such cases, when the health and strength will be seriously undermined. 

TAKE NO RISK. 

The wise man or woman will take no risks but will attend to the first symptoms of disease of the stomach. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which has cured thousands of people who were suffering from the most aggravated forms of disease of the stomach and its allied organs of digestión and nutrition may be relied on quickly and permanently to cure such diseases in their earlier stages, lts action is prompt and efficient. lts effects are lasting. The whole body being fully nourished is built up with sound flesh, not with flabby fat. 

“For about two years I suffered from a very obstinate case of dyspepsia," writes R. E. Secord, Esq., of 13 Eastern Ave., Toronto, Ontario. “I tried a great number of remedies without success. I finally lost faith in them all. I was so far gone that I could not bear any solid food on my stomach for a long time; felt melancholy and depressed. Could not sleep nor follow my occupation (tin smith). Some four years ago a friend recommended your ' Golden Medical Discovery.' After a week's treatment I had derived so much benefit that I continued the medicine. I have taken three bottles and am convinced it has in my case accomplished a permanent cure. I can conscientiously recommend it to the thousands of dyspeptics throughout the land." 

HOW STRENGTH IS RESTORED. 

People as a rule have a somewhat vague idea of the manner in which life is sustained and supported. They know they must eat to live. But they do not consider that when the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are diseased, the object of eating, which is the nutrition of the body, cannot be perfectly attained. Only part of the food eaten is converted into nutrition, and the body is but partly nourished. Yet the body is required to do as much daily as if it were being fully nourished. The result is the wasting of the flesh, loss of weight which goes hand in hand with loss of strength, and general debility. When the diseased stomach is cured by " Golden Medical Discovery," the food is digested and assimilated and in the form of nourishment restores the strength and vigor of the body, the proof of this being written in the pounds and ounces of lost flesh which are rapidly regained. The only way in which physical strength can be made is by food, digested and assimilated. When the stomach and its allied organs are diseased the digestion is imperfect, the assimilation partial, consequently there is a daily loss of strength. When Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures the diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, the food eaten is properly digested and assimilated, the body is adequately nourished, and thus its strength is restored. 

"I will express my thanks to you for the kindly advice you have given me in regard to my case," writes Mis Carrie J. Wharton, of Dunavant, Spotsylvania Co., Va. “When I wrote to you last spring I was in a terrible state of health. Had given up all hope of ever being better. I spit up my food all the time and it seemed sour as vinegar. I would have a bad sick headache every other week; in fact, my head never felt clear, and I was perfectly broken down under the strain of losing my food constantly. I was not able to have physician attend me, but had read a great deal in your books of what your medicine had done for others, so I wrote you and got your advice. Bought two bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and the first dose I took I felt better. When I had finished taking the two bottles the spitting up had entirely stopped and my head was much better. I do not say it has yet made an entire cure of me, as it required more than that for me, as I was so very bad, but I believe your medicines are just what you have said of them.” 

 “I carefully read the books you sent me and shall always speak a good word foi the 'Golden Medical Discovery' whenever I have a chance." 

“You can publish this if you think it worth while. It might induce someone else to try your medicine who was suffering as I did. It was by the testimony of others that I was induced to try it. I shall always rely upon your advice and feel safe to do as you tell me."

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures through the stomach disease which seem remote from that organ but which have their origin in disease of the stomach and its allied organs. If the dealer offers a substitute for Golden Medical Discovery," remember that the sole motive of substitution is to enable him to make the little more profit paid by the sale of less meritorious preparation.
