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.

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.
