county is beginning to prove a rich
harvest for the sevenue officers, and
what Isl most unusual occurrence in
this county has taken place-Deputy
Collector Harman has seized two distil-
leries. The spirits seized have been
advertised according to law, and will
be sold at the end of thirty days unless
claim to the same is duly filed. The
revenue officers are securing the coun-
ty and searching all the houses and
distilleries of the brandy makers for il
licit or unstamped brandy. Not long
ago seizure of a distillery was made
and the owner was found to be putting
brandy into old whisky barrels, thus
avoiding the law under cover of the
whisky stamp. More apple brandy is
being made in this county than ever be-
fore, and the amount drank in some

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 constipa-
ton and keep on taking it, day after day,
month after month and year after year.
Perhaps ii 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
tets. One " Pellet is a gentle laxative,
and two mild catharic. They are gentle
and efficient in their action, permanent
in their results. You don't become
slave to their use, as with other pills.
