A man has to have pluck to make a suc
cess of any c ling. A man must have the
backbone to take knock down blows and
get up again and again and fight on.
Pluck and stamina are largely a question
of good health. It only takes one knock
down blow to finish a man with a headache.
It only takes a small setback to disconcert
'a nervous and shaky man. A bilious head
achy man goes into bankruptcy at the first
embarrassment. A nervous man who does
not sleep at night and gets up shaky in the
morning gives up the battle of business at
the first discouragement. Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery is the best of
all health-makers and health-keepers. It
