Henry Breen of Lewiston, one of the
Maine Central construction crew at
work on the Maine Central bridge at
the Turner street washout In Auburn,
had narrow escape from serious in
jury Mo nday. He was working near the
bottom of one the abutments, when a
block of granite 6 feet long and feet
wide slid down upon his foot and
pinned him to the ground. He was
obliged to lie in that position until a
hole was drilled in the block and it was
lifted off by derrick, and if ever hole
was quickly drilled that one was. For
tnnately Mr.. Breen was on some soft sand
when the stone struck him, otherwise
his foot would have been completely
crushed, but his foot was pressed into
the sand and he was not seriously in
jured.

&-S1-demon of sickness constipa.
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 tc
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow of
water, and gradually mass of poison
Gus, putrefying 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 synp-
toms. A few of these are dizziness, fatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss Of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, hiliousness and erup-
tons of the skin. These things are I'M
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 in their action. One is gentle
laxative, two 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

sometimes tell you so for their own profit.

1t is thought that the action of the cleo

DEAFNESS CANNOT RE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness. and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eu>taehian Tube
When this tube gets inflamed you have
iumblng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an innamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
