Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, gratis. I

OSTRICH LOGIC.
~ "When I can't set dangtr there is ne
danger." That's tbe logi?of the ostrich
which hides its head and exposes its
body to the hunter. There sic not a
few people who seem to have gone to
the ostrich to learn logic. The most
dangerous enemies of humanity are the
enemies which can't be seen, the disease
breeding microbes which infect the
hlood. It is harder to get the microbe
out of the blood than to keep it out, but
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
does both, by puri
fying the blood
and then keeping
it pure.
If there are
eruptions on the
skin, boils, pim
ples, sores or other
signs of impure
blood, use Doctor
Pierce's Golden
Medical Discov
ery, which will
purify the blood
and cure the
eruptions which come front it.
