The dyspeptic carries dreadful load on
his back. 1t seems as if he were really made
up of two men. One of them ambitious,
brainy aud energetic; the other sick, list
less, peevish and without force The weak
man weighs the othe one down The dys-
peptic may be able to do pretty good work
one day, and the next day, because of some
little indiscretion in eating, he may be able
to do nothing at all. Most cases Of dyspep-
STA start with constipation. Constipation
is the cause Of nine tenths of all human
sickness. Some Of its symptoms are sick
and bilious headache, dizziness, sour stom-
ach, loss of appetite, foul breath windy
bechings, heartburn, pain and distress after
eating All these are indicative Of derange-
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels, and
are caused by constipation DR. Perce's
Pleasant Pellets are the quickest, easiest and
most certain cure for this condition. They
are not violent in action

Worlds Dispensary Medical Association,
