When a man gets to the point where he has to inject the deadly extracts of opium under the skin in order to get rest and sleep, the grave is not far distant. The time to take care of health is before it is utterly and irretrievably gone. The man who works on and on utterly heedless of health and too busy to occasionally take a little necessary medicine, is committing suicide as surely as if he turned a pistol on his heart. Such a man dies by little degrees. First a little indigestion and a little neglect. Then loss of appetite. The bowels get clogged and the blood receives poisons instead of healthy nutriment. Cold, inert tissues in flesh, muscle, nerve and brain are not replaced by new. The whole body gets stale. The very sleeping room of a man in this condition is filled in the morning with unwholesome odors as if it had been occupied by a decomposing corpse. It has been occupied by a man half dead. The poisoned brain refuses to sleep and hates to work. Then comes the resort to the hypodermic injection of morphine and speedy death. All this may be prevented by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It corrects all disorders of the digestion, makes assimilation perfect, fills the blood with the vital elements that make new tissue, builds healthy flesh, firm muscles, strong nerves and active brain cells. It drives out impurities and disease. Thousands of men in all walks of life have testified to its wonderful merits. It's an insult to your intelligence for a dealer to attempt to palm off upon you a substitute for this world-wide medicine. You know what you want. It's his business to meet that want. When he urges some substitute he's thinking of the larger profit he'll make—not of your welfare. Shun all such dishonest dealers. The man or woman who is regular as clock-work is seldom troubled with disease or mental or bodily lassitude. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a safe, sure, speedy and permanent cure for constipation. One little "Pellet" is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. They never gripe. You will have reason to regret it if you let a dishonest druggist induce you to take a substitute.
