WHY BUY PIANOS.

And Organs from commission
agents? Why take chances in buy
ing a Piano or Organ from strang-
ers? We have been established in
Texas for thirty years. Ali our in
terests are here and we cannot af-
ford to take advantage of you. We
will sell you a Piano or Organ
without notes. Commission men
demand notes, because the manu-
facturers demand them OF the COM
mission agents. These notes are
either deposited in bank for col.
lection or are discounted by money
lenders. Notes are exacted for the
sole purpose of being used
as collateral. We exact no notes
on time payments, and charge no
interest where payments are made
promptly. We again say, why buy
from a stranger a Piano or Organ
whose name you never heard be-
fore and take chances of being de-
ceived and OF getting a poor in
strument for which you pay big
price ? You can get better instru-
ment from US accompanied by an
unquestionable guarantee for less
price on easy payments without
notes or interest.

low the little sickness to grow into the
big sickness. They allow constipation to
grow into indigestion, heartburn, dizzi,
ness, headache, insomnia, and hundred
other distressing conditions. They do
this frequently because they do not know
the cause of their trouble. 1t is pretty
safe rule to look for the source of 9-Ioths
of human sickness in this one simple and
appallingly prevalent trouble. Another
foolish thing that smart people do is to
take some alleged remedy for const,pa-
ton and keep on taking it, day after day,
month after month and year after year.
Perhaps it is better to take the medicine
than not to take it at all, but of course If
they stop taking it, their trouble will
come back. This last statement is true
of every other medicine prepared for this
purpose except DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets. One Pellet is gentle laxative,
and two a mild catharic. They are gentle
and efficient in their action, permanent
in their results. You don't become a
slave to their use, as with other pills.
