WRITE DR. PIERCE FOR FREE ADVICE SOIL THAT IS SOUR ' The question of raising large crops is like that of maintaining the public healthit consists of encouraging friendly bacteria and destroying harm^ ful ones. In the soil the friendly bacteria capture the atmospheric nitrogen and put it in such shape that the plants can use it. Nitrogen is necessary to the plants and the air is full of it, said B. E. Powell in "Country Life in America." The richness of the soil is in the surfacethat which contains the millions of little bacterial workersall anxious to turn into-the purse of man a golden stream. The diflculty is when the soil is sour. It is as impossible to grow crops upon an acid soil as it is to digest food in an over acid stomach. Fortunately, the remedy for acid soil is finely ground limestone (a ton of limestone to an acre of land is usually sufficient.) Just as fortunate is it that the remedy for a weak stomach is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. No man is stronger than his stomach. If the proper elements in the food are not taken up by the blood vessels of the stomach and intestines and carried to the vital organs of the body, one's health breaks down and leaves the gates open for the entrance of the bacteria of disease. The bacterial germs of typhoid fever, grip, malaria, pneumonia, rarely attack a person, unless the system has first been weakened by disease, indigestion, dyspepsia or other errors. The "Golden Medical Discovery" has been in use many years but it is as up-to-date as the most modern discovery. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is an extract of medicinal roots. This alterative helps the assimilation of the food in the stomach, soothes the stomach membranes, and assists the blood to take the proper elements from the food.
