Constipation makes half the people
i sick. You are dizzy, have bad breath
and taste, can't eat, can't sleep well, head
aches, nervous, irritable. Can't work il
of, can't rest it off. Well your liver
must be invigorated. Your food must
digest properly. Now save a doctors
bill with bottle Of 10 PE-SA. You will
be surprised with few doses. Zo-PE-SA
is positive cure for these troubles, be-
cause it acts upon the stomach and liver,
and through the liver the system and
bowels must be regulated. Ask for a

no small importance. Prof Geo. Bartholo-

pear on the capacious coliseum stage. The
animals display almost human intelligence
and the acts and tricks which they perform
are truly marvellous. Here is what
the New York Star says
Last night the most novel of all
the equine exhibitions ever witnessed
iuaugurated the season at the CosmO-
politan Theatre. to an audience which crowd
ed the large auditorium and spacious alSles
in every part. II were idle to mention any
particular performance of any of the animals,
as all seemed possessed of almost human
Intelligence. Commands given by auditors,
no matter what. it possible, were as promptly
obevei as if given by Mr.. Bartholomew, the
euterprising and patient man who has won
the love and obedience of these most noble
animals The exhibition teaches story
which Is not to be seen outside OF theatre.
