Why Is It?

The truths of science and progressive thought have always been compelled ta batter down the bulwarks of prejudice and disbelief, or remain forever unknown. Why is it that people are so reluctant to receive facts that relate directly to the phenomena of their own existence ? Astronomers, upon discovering a star, assign it a place at once, and it is forever fixed. The rule by which a mathematical problem, is once solved becomes forever an axiom; but no matter how clearly the principles which govern health and sickness be demonstrated, some refuse to believe. Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines, which are now so generally used, and deservedly popular, were, in their early days, very reluctantly received by the people. To-day Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has »outrivaled the old-time sarsaparillas, his Pellets are in general use in place of the coarse, huge, drastic pills formerly so much employed, wbne the sales of his Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy and his Favorite Prescription are enormous.\.Where the skin is sallow and covered with blotches and pimples, or where there are scrofulous swellings and affections, a few betties of his Golden Medical Discovery will effect an entire cure.
