An Important Geological Fact.

Geology has shown us that Nature accomplishes her greatest revolutions In the earth’s surface conformation slowly. Every year the river makes its channel deeper, the glacier wears a deeper gorge in the Alpine rock and the ocean tide deposits the sand it has crumbled from the rocks upon which it breaks. We note the earthquake and the devastating hurricane; but these changes are so gradual man seldom obicrves them until the channel has become overhanging cliffs, or a mountain has disappeared before the icy stream, or the ocean has given us a Florida. Thus it is in disease. Our attention is attracted by acute diseases, as fevers, cholera, etc., while chrouic diseases (often the most dangerous in result), being slow in their development, are seldom noticed until they have made an almost Ineffaceable impression upon the system. Persons believing themselves comparatively healthful are ofttimes the victims of these diseases, and only become aware of their eresence when relief is almost impossible. >lscases of the liver and stomach are the commonest of these chronic affections. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and Plcasand Purgative Pellets are never-failing remedies for these diseases. They produce a healthful secretion of the bile, prevent indigestion by regulating the bowels, and Impart a vigorous tone to the whole system.
