Who wins in the
race ? Is it a sick man ?
Is it a man who is
weak? Is it a man
whose blood is impure?
An athlete trains lor
.every race. The best
athletes train all the.
time. They are always
in perfect condition.
It is pretty safe to say
that the best man will
always win. The man
who is strong and in
the best condition will
surely distance his
competitors.
- In the race for suc
cess, the best man will
win if he takes care of
himself. He cannot
win if he neglects his
Shysical condition. It
oesn't make any dif-
V t? ference how smart he
rV,. is. If his body isn't
.-, stronsr. he will never
Enish the race. He must look first for a
dear, healthy, strong body, because the
body makes and supports the brain. If the
heart pnmps impure blood into the brain,
yon cannot expect the man. to be clear
headed, you cannot expect him to accom
plish much. If a man's blood is pure and
rich, there can not be much the matter with
him. If it isn't pure and rich, he may have
almost any disease under the sun, and Dr.
Fierce' Golden Medical Discovery will
cure it. It doesn't make any difference
what form the disease takes, or by what
name it Is called. - Nearly all diseases
spring from impure blood. If you make
the blood pure, you remove the cause and
cure the disease. That's common sense
and medical sense and scientific sense.

great relief ; the second, which I am

Professor. The Charlotte Professor
