with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and their attendant discomfort and

are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition Of the system. No care is
required while using them; they do not
interfere with the diet habits or occupa-
ton, and produce no pain, gripping or shock
to the system They act in mild easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and

constipation sour stomach, loss Of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia
windy belchings, heartburn" pain and
distress after eating and kindred derange-
ments Of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof OF their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as a household remedy after the
first trial. Put up in sealed, glass vials,
therefore always fresh and reliable. One
little Pellet" is a laxative, two are mildly
cathartic. As dinner pill " 20 promote
