any Of these. 1t is the commonest trouble
that human beings suffer from. 1t is so
common that nine-tenths of all the sickness
In the world is traceable to it. 1t is merely
that simple, common thing-constipation
There is no telling what it may lead to, but
it is sure to lead to something bad. Its i'm.
mediate effects are unpleasant in the ex-
IRENE 1t makes people listless, gives
them headaches, makes the digestion poor,
causes dizziness, loss of appetite, loss of
sleep, foul breath and distress after eating.
All this merely because Nature has been
imposed upon, and has been refused the
little help she needed.
This little help is furnished by Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One pill is a
gentle laxative and two mild cathartic.
There are two remarkable things about the
pellets" One is that they never grippe;
the other that they cure permanently.
There is no other medicine that does cure
permanently You can take any other
medicine you like, as long as you like, and
If you stop, your trouble will come back
quickly, and the chances are the trouble
will be worse than 1t was before. This
isn't true of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
You take them until you get yourself into
perfect working order, and then you stop.
You don't have to take any more Pellets I"
unless after while you do something that
deranges your digestive system again. We
are not guessing about these facts, and we
don't ask you to take our unsupported word
fof it. Thousands of people have found
that they are true, and have testified to
them. Let the druggist who says that some
thing else is "just as good |" sell that some
thing else to somebody else. Don't let him
tribe with your health for the sake of a
little more profit to himself.

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We refer
tn Chamberlain's Pain Balm. When it is
kept at hand severe pain of burn or
scald may be promptly relieved and the
sore healed in much less time than when
medicine has to be sent for. A sprain
may be promptly treated before infiam-
nation sets in, which lnsures cure in
about one-third the time otherwise re-
auired. Outs and bruises should receive
immediate attention, before the parts be-
come swollen, and when Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is,applied it will heal them
without matter being formed, and with
out leaving scar. A sore throat may
be cured in one night. A piece of flannel
damped with this linament and bound on
over the seat Of pain, will cure lame back
or pain in the side or chest in twenty
four hours. 1t is the most valuable, how
ever, for rheumatism. Persons afflicted
with this disease will be delighted with
the prompt relief from pain which it af-
fords, and it can be depended upon to
effect complete cure. For sale by A. q.
