The best thing to do

The best thing to do
is this when you're suffering from
Sick or Bilious Headaches, Consti-.
patton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
or any arrangement of the Liver,
Stomach, or Bowels, get something
that relieves promptly and cures
permanently. Don't shock the sys-,
tenn with the ordinary pills-get
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They're the smallest, for one thing
(but that's a great thing }, and the,
easiest to take.
They're the best, for they work
in Natures own way mildly and
gently, but thoroughly and effec-
lively.
They're the cheapest, for they're
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
your money is returned. You pay
only for the good you get.
What more can you ask?
But don't get something that the
dealer says is "just as good" 1t
may be better for him, but it's
pretty certain to be worse for you.
