He is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. p. p, Lippman's Great REM
edv, For Ii.

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this ann life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract
from his letter Truth is stranger
than Fiction"
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that p. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried p. p. p. He says he is well and
will swear hat there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. z. P. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med.
icine, P. P. P, Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. =. p. p. removes
the Irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin ana
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by =. P. P, Lippman's Great Remedy.
Ladies, TAX P. Z. p. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.

1t is strange that the wearer
of Napoleon's hat who was
afraid TO have his name go be-
fore the convention on a Friday,
was not superstitlous about the
anniversary of the battle of
Waterloo. which took place on
the 18th of June, 1915. Accord.
ing to precedent, "Napoleon's
forces should have beeu routed,
horse, foot and dragons; in
stead of which he rests victor
ious on the field of battle, with
hardly any serious opposition
between him and the gates of the
White House.

other single book in the English
language. 1t is really a medical
encyclopedia In one volume, a
large heavy book of 1908 pages,
with over 500 illustrations. The
outlay of money, time and effort
in producing this great book was
paid for by the sale of the first
edition of $50, 900 copies at $3.50
each ; and the profit has been

they are two links in the chain of indi-
gestion; another link is biliousness; head
ache is another; then follows backache,
d~rowsiness, dizziness, an irritable temper
and the "blues," all links of one chain
binding down your energies and making
whole trouble at once is to put the bow
els and stomach into condition again.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets do this
quicker, more comfortably and more
naturally than any other remedy in the
world. They actually cure constipation
so it stays cured; you don't become a slave
to their use; they strengthen the intes-
tines to do their own work, tone the
stomach and gently stimulate the liver.
They are mild but sure, like Nature it
self. Don't let any druggist give you a
