observers who state a great need Of
rain for maturing late crops. Hail

"VOu Don't Become
a Slave to their Use!"

The above words have been
truthfully spoken concerning DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets by one
who has had abundant opportunity
to observe their more favorable ac-
ton as compared with that of other
pills.
Most pills and medicines in use
for constipation, in the long run,
make bad matter worse" I'm
like such agents, DR.. Pierce's Pei
lets exert such a tonic or strength
ening effect upon the membranes
of the stomach and bowels, as to
produce lasting benefit. Their use
can, therefore, be gradually discon-
tinued. With most pills the longer
they are taken, the more dependent
upon their use the patient becomes.
Not so with the Pellets" Their
secondary effect is to keep the bow
els open and regular, not to further
constipate. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from hab-
itual constipation.
The Pellets cure costiveness, or
constipation, biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, sour
stomach, loss of appetite, coated
tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, e" heartburn, "
pain and distress after eating, and
kindred arrangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels. One little
Pellet" is a laxative, two are
mildly cathartic.
They are tiny, sugar-coated gran.
ules; any child will readily take
them. Sold by all dealers.

The following article taken from
the Wilkes barre Record of the
Times of February 18th will be read
by many of our subscribers with inter-
est, as it relates to one with whom
many of them are personally acquaint-
ed.
]. w. Oman, an ensign in the
United States navy, is at present enjoy
ing flrlough and spending his time
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. F.
Oman of Nanticoke.
Ensign Oman, was born and lived
at Light Street, Columbia County,
Pa, up to the time Of his appoint
ment as cadet at Annapolis, and is
now detailed as an instructor at the
naval academy. He ranked high in
his class, has made splendid record
during his term Of service and is con-
sidered by his superiors as one of the
most promising young officers in the
navy.
His career goes to show that an
American boy with true grit and push
can accomplish wonders. Mr.. Oman's
parents were honest, hard working
people who could not afford to give
their son the education he craved, and
he decided to educate himself. He
entered as student at the Orange
vile Academy and walked to and
from the school SIX miles each way
every day and during vacation work
ed for the farmers and earned the
money to pay his tuition. Leaving
Orangeville he went to the Blooms
burg Normal School, and while a
student there S. P. Wolverton, con
gresham for that district, put an ap-
pointment for the naval cadetship in
competition. Young Oman entered
the examination against fourteen
competitors and won hands down.
Since his graduation he has served at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, at sea, and
for several years was engaged with
the United States Coast Survey ir
sounding and mapping the Atlantic
coast from Main to Florida.
