CONSTIPATION OR COsTIvENEss.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to- is so
prevalent, so little understood and so much neg
lected as Costiveness. Often originating in care
lessness, or sedentary habits; it is regarded a
slight disorder of too little consequence to excite
anxiety while in reality it is the precursor and CON-
panon of many of the most fatal and dangerous
diseases and unless early eradicated it will bring
the sufferer TO an untimcly grave. Among the
lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual at
tendant are Headache, Collie, Rheumatism, Foul
Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a
long train of frightful diseases such Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Dyspep-
STA, Apoplexy Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Hy-
pochondriasis, Melancholy aud Insanity, first indi-
cate their presence in the system by this alarming
symptom. Not unfrequently the diseases named
originate in Constipation, but take on indepen-
dent existence unless the cause is eradicated in an
early stage. From all these considerations it fol-
lows that the disorder should receive immediate
attention whenever it occurs, and no person should
neglect to get box of Cephalic Pills on the first
appearance of the complaint, their timely use
will expel the insidious approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

fact that the Indians, whenever the sky wears the

81 OVER EXCITEMENT, and the mental care and
anxiety incident to close attention to business or
study, are among the numerous causes of Nervous
Headache. The disordered state of mind and body
incident to this distressing complaint is fatal
blow to all energy and ambition. Sufferers by this
disorder can always obtain speedy relieffrom these
distressing attacks by using one of the Cephalic
Pills whenever the symptoms appear. 1t quiets
the overtasked brain, and soothes the strained
and Earring nerves, and relaxes the tension of the
stomach which always accompanies and aggravates
the disordered condition of the brain.
