"a disordered liver-that you're subject
10 attacks of cold or chiIls on slight ex-
posure. You get " tired easily. The
feeling is accompanied by tired di-
gestion, which fails to assiuilate the food
This often results in what we call lndi-

DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets rouse the
liver to vigorous action, and this in turn
starts the machinery of the body into ac-
tivity. Liver, stomach and bowels feel
the tonic effect. The processes become
self-regulatng, and a reserve force Is
stored up against exposure to disease.
If you're too thin, too weak or nervous,
It must De that food assimilation is wrong.
This is tue time to take Pleasant Pellets.
