because of a weak stomach, sluggishliver, shaky nerves and flabby muscles.There is no need of it Dr. Pierce'sGolden Medical Discovery cures thesethings. It brings back youth to thefeeble because it brings back keen appe-tite and good digestion. It tones up theliver, puts oxygen and life into theblood, and solid strength into the fleshand muscles. It contains no alcohol toinebriate or create a morbid appetite orcraving for stimulants." I have never felt better in my life than I donow," says Charles Hunwick, of Lenox. MacombCo., Mich., in a remarkable letter to Dr. R. V.Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y. "I have taken Dr.Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery right along.I can now walk quite well with a cane and hopeto throw even that away before long, and aa Ihave had to use crutches for nearly two years, Ithink I am doing fine. I do not cough now andI can eat and sleep like a school boy. I think Iwill have to change my mind about 'PatentMedicines, as I never had much faith in them;but you must know that I have been treated intwo hospitals and by three doctors besides, andreceived no benefit; so I think your medicine lathe only medicine for me."

There is nothing in the world forconstipation like Dr. Pierce's PleasantPellets. They should be taken in con-junction with the " Discovery," when-ever any disease is complicated with thatdangerous condition. Nothing else thatmay be offered ia their place will ac-complish what they will. And their re-lief Is permanent. Writs to Dr. Flarefor free advice. '
