gained all they hoped. But the crooks,

MODERN MISERS.
Men Who Starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.
There is a certain fearful fascination
about the stone* of the misers of the
post The money they accumulated was
of no more practical value to them than
the trinkets stolen aud secreted by some
magpie or jackdaw They bid it from
the sight and use of tnen and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gs’.bct it they lived on
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and tire to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not a few cases died
of starvation. That was the old time
miser The modem miser resembles
this man of the tiast in the particular
that he frequently dies of starvation.

pavs small heed to the claims of health.
He cats anything, anyhow, auywhen,
ind anywhere. He doesn't eat Arista
bv anv means nor spare his purse to fill
his stomach. The mistake he make* is
in thinking that when a man has filled
his stomach, that is the end of the busi
ness of feeding. Instead of Ixnng the
nd of feeding“it’s onlv the beginning.
There is no value in food unless it is
digested, converted into nutrition and
assimilated. These processes depend
upon the liealthfulness of the stomach
ind the other organs of digestion and
nutrition When these organs are dis
ased they cannot extract the nutrition
roni the food received into the stomach
■ml the body lieconies weak through
iack of nourishment. One day tins
'weakness” begins to find a special de
velopment in some chief organ, heart,
liver, lung*, kidneys, etc., to which the
man succumbs. The doctor’s certificate
reads "heart disease,’’ "kidney disease,”
vs the case may be.
But the real reading of the certificate
should be:
STARVEtI TO DEATH.
The truth of this statement is appar
ent. The bodv i* sustained by food
digested and assimilated. But the body
is made up of its part* and organs, and
when the stomach is " weak," digestion
imperfect, and the nutrition extracted
from food inadequate to the needs of the
body, the result 1* shared by every port
and organ of the body. For this reason
ao man is stronger than his stomach,
and no organ sustained by the stomach
can be stronger tlian the stiwnoch.
Therefore when we hear of * weak **
stomach we are pretty sure we are going
to hear in time of " weak " heart, " weak"
lung*, "weak "Sidneys, or weakness of
some other organ of the body dependent
on the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.
Now these things being true when a
man has heart "trouble,’’fiver "trouble.*

I only used four bottles

"1 was troubled with
malarial fever of about three years’
standing and was under doctor*’ care
for quite a time," writes Mr. J. V. Kuld,
of Barmleysville. Way lie County, Ky.
"They had almost given me up, ur.d my
suffering was very grr.t. My puls- was
weak, breath short and l had severe pains
in back, head and legs Had palpitation
of heart, and from June Ist, 1595, to
Mav tst, 1898, I was net able to do 11

Dr. Bierce’s Golden Medical Discovery,
and before I had fiuialicd taking the first
two bottles I was very much better of
my disease of thrre years' standing I
continued taking the medicine, and by
the time the fifth bottfc was gone I was
a well man. I c*n cheerfully recom

"In 1898, one of mv daughters was

Iredell Cos., N. C. "I promptly gave her
