stomach Frequently he doesn't even
know whether the thing he eats is going
to agree with him or not. The things that
please his palate most are often the worst
for him to eat. Even the simplest food is
likely to cause him misery and sleepless-
ness. His first trouble was very slight
very simple-very easy to cure. He ate
something indigestible and it stuck some
place in his digestive system. He ate more
things and they stuck. Part of his diges-
ton stopped altogether-that is constipa-
ton
Constipation is so common that more
than half the people i'll America are troub-
led with it. 1t is so serious that nine
tenths of the sickness of the world is
traceable directly to this common cause
A mans health and strength depend upon
what he gets out of his food This depends
on his digestion. Constipation stops diges
ton. Anybody can see that The com.
monest kind of common sense will tell
you that. When digestion stops, nutrition
stops, and the whole body is thrown out
of order.
The way to start digestion is to remove
the obstruction. The way to do that is to
take DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
are positive cure for constipation and
its attendant ills = headaches, sour stom-
ach, fatulence, dizziness biliousness and
" heartburn" They are very gentle in
their action. They simply assist nature.
They give no violent wrench to the system.
They cause no pain, nor gripping, nor dis
comfort of any kind.

RURAL WAYS.
thank Thee that my childhood's vanished

I thank Thee that my childhoods vanished
days
We're cast in rural ways,
Where beheld, with gladncss ever new,
That sort of vagrant dew
Which lodges in the beggarly tents of such
Vile weeds as virtuous plants dlsdain to touch.
And with rough bearded burs, night after
night,
Upgathered by the morning, tender and true,
Into her clear, chaste light.
Such ways learned to know
That free will cannot 20
Outside of mercy, learned to bless his name
Whose revelations ever thus renewed
Along the varied year, in field and wood
His loving care proclaim
thank Thee that the grass and the red rose
DO what they can to tell
How spirit through all forms of matter flows
For every thistle by the common way,
Wearing its homely beauty; for each spring
That, sweet and homeless, runneth where il
will;
For night and day.
For the alternate seasons-eyerything
Pertaining to life's marvellous miracle.
