low the little sickness to grow into the
big sickness. They allow constipation to
row into Indigestion, heartburn, dizzi-
ness. headache, Insomnia, and q hundred
other distressing conditions. They do
this frequently because they do not know
the cause of their trouble. It is pretty
safe rule to look for the source of o-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 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 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.

Mr.. E. M. Mcdonald writes to
the New York Sun making
prominent the fact that, in 1885,
Mr.. Lincoln, who was then quite
young man, wrote a treatise on
infdelity. 1t was an attack upon
the whole ground of Christians
ity, and, of course, denied the
divinity of our Saviour. Mr..
Lincolh's employer. Mr.. Samuel
Hill, though himself a skeptic,
got hold of the MS. and put it
into the fire. That this story is
true, is confirmed by a letter
from Mr.. Herndon, Lincoln's
law partner, published in the
Toledo, TO- Index, in 1870,

The thousands of people whom it has
