Another will enjoy these things half as much an other not at all. The things that people see are inside them. What one sees and what one enjoys depends upon the bodily condition depends upon the capacity for enjoyment depends upon the health and the vitality. The sick man has pain or dis I comfort so impressed upon him that he has no time to think of much else. A weak man has all he can do to struggle for mere existence. He has no strength to use in procuring pleasure. His performances are limited by his strength. He can do only a few things so he can enjoy only a few things The man who is perfectly well and vigorous enjoys life to the full. The bed ridden invalid enjoys it not at all. The man who is half sick and half well gets out of life about half what he ought to. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes , neople well. It doesn't do it in a miracu lous way. There isn't anything unnatural about it it is the most natural thing in the world. It simply puts the digestive organs, the stomach; the liver, the bowels, in per fect order and thereby makes the" blood pure and rich. It doesn't have to do any thing else. Nature does all the rest. All diseases live and thrive on impure blood. Keep a stream of pure, rich, red blood flow in into a diseased spot, and the disease will not stay. A man lives on rich, pure blood, and disease dies on it. That's the difference.
