In reading over the literary items OF
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "Jenks' Dream" Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
q recommendation to use DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
q great sufferer from sick headache, I
determined to try them, and, to my great
joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, a complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
AS o pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
Cause no gripping or sickness. Best
Liver Pill ever made. Smallest, Cheap
est, Easiest to take. For Constipation,
Indigestion and Bilious Attacks, they
have no equal.
