In the 80 years that DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets have been sold, hundreds of thou
sands of people have taken them, and have
been cured by them. There is no longer
any possible question Of their efficacy.
They are the product of experience, tried
by time. They are intended TO cure con.
stipation. They are good for men. wo-
men and children. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, very easy to take, very
quick in their action. One pellet" is a
gentle laxative. two Pellets mild
cathartic. A great many people make
the mistake Of sandbsgging their di-
gestive organs. They take some strong
and violent medicine, which creates
worse troubles than il cures Strong
purgatives shock the system unrecessar-
lily, and they do not cure constipation.
Constipation is thing that makes peo.
pie listless and languid; makes their
breath bad; wakes them up with foul
taste in their mouths; puts black spots
before their eyes; makes them dizzy;
causes headache makes them bilious !;
produces pifnples and blotches-runs into
all sorts OF serious consequences. All this

given there would have been q fair at

there are siin more tran two Democrats

and Girtoa's opportunity had come: here

the indications are that the grand

that no less than 1900 delegates -

for cooperation and aid in the under

general is conceded and that the peo-

The local Knights have now gotten

During his trial he attempted to prove
that he was in Elmira, n. Y, doing

that he was not present and took no

Canada, where he remained concealed
by Catholic priests for nearly five
months Leaving Canada, he went to
England, thenceto Paris, and thence to
Rome, where, under the name Of Wat
son, he enlisted in the zouayes of the
pope.
While in the Papal zouaves he was
recognized by u Canadian acquaintance,
who betrayed him. On the day follow
ing his arrest, while under the guard Of
six men, he leaped blindly from a rocky
precipice over 100 feet in depth, and,
alighting by chance on projecting rock
80 feet below, clambered quickly down
the abyss, escaped, reached Naples in
the course of q week and sailed to Al
exandria ON the same vessel which car
ried the instructions to the consul there
that led to his capture. He was finally
brought back to the United States and
tried at Washington by a civil court.
The trial extended over a period of two
months, and more than 200 witnesses
appeared on the stand The jury dis

ment did not prosecute the case further.
