you have got quite well again. / was

you. How did you take them, in water
or in cake?"
Boy-"Oh, 1 used them in my blow

The little fellow put the nasty, great,
gripping, old-fashioned pills to a good use.
At most, all his internal economy need

Pellets. They are tiny, sugar. coated
granules, easy to take, and are gently
aperieut, or actively cathartic, according
to size of dose. AS a laxative, only one
tiny Pellet is required.
The "Pellets" cure Sick Headache,
Bilious Headache, Constipation, Indi-
gestion, Bilious Attacks, and all Ge-
rangements of the Liver, Stomach and
Bowels.
The "Pellets" are purely vegetable,
and operate without disturbance to the
system, diet, or occupation.
DR.. Pierce's Pellets are the cheapest
pill, sold by druggists, because they are
guardnteed to give satisfaction in every
case, or their price Us cents a vial Is
refunded. Can you ask more?
