BREAKING UP A COLD.
Very Simple Cure For a Common Cold
and the Theory Oh Which 1t pepends

DR.. l.. d. Buckley recommends, in Tie
Medical Record, the internal use of biear-
Donate Of soda at the coming on of a cold
The theory of the treatment is that there
then exists an acid condition of the system
which is sufficient to irritate the terminal
endlngs of the nerves in the skin and mu-
cous membranes and so to render them
susceptible to impressions of cold by de-
rangement of the capillary circulation.
Neutralize this acidity, and the normal
condition of things ensues.
When shivering, sneezing, etc, begin
is the time to take 90 to 80 grain doses of
bicarbonate of soda in two or three ounces
of water, at intervals of half an hour, till
three doses have been taken, and IL fourth
dose after one hour. Then, after several
hours, the same course may be repeated,
II necessary.
Starting with the earliest indications of
the trouble, DR.. Bulkley's experience is
that this treatment rarely fails to break up
IA cold He has known the doses to be re-
peated four times with final good result.
After the second or third day the remedy
acts less promptly and frequent repeti-
iions are needed.

That hideous and deathlv

ton, is an easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine. Constipa-
ton IS one of the commonest things in the
world. 1t is really one of the most seri-
GUS things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow of
water, and gladually mass of poison
Gus, putrefy,ng matter will accumulate.
That is exactly what happens in the
digestive organs when constipation be-
gins. Poisonous matter aCcumulates and
is forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp-
toms. A few of these are dizziness, hatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, biliousness and erup-
tons Of the skin. These things are uil-
pleasant but they are not. serious. The
serious things come afterward. Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient i'll their action. One is gentle
laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is
nothing else in the world like them.
There is nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing just as good, although
