Constipation can be cured easily and
certainly by the use of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They r perfectly
simple-perfeetly safe. They are
not at all violent in their action, and
yet they r more certain than many
medicines which are so strong that
they put the system all out of order.
The great advantage of the "Pleasant
Pellets' is that they u r permanent
ly. You don't have to keep on taking
them. You don't acquire a "pellet
habit" as in using other pills. Take
them regularly for a while, and you
are cured permanently. After that,
take them only when you find your
self suffering from Indigestion. There
are many medicines offered for the
same purpose on which druggists make
a bigger profit. For this reason some
druggists would rather sell the other
things. If your own health is of more
Importance to you than the druggists

GEO. CALvERT's EXPERIENCE.
Was Poisoned Sometime Ago in Paris,
Texas, and Robbed-ln a
st. Louis Hospital.
From the st. Louis Republic.

tNAA sAS ~ y Acbko -
George L. Calvert, of Mexico, Mo-,
dropped into the City Dispensary at
noon yesterday and told a remarkable
story to DR.. Newcomb. He arrived in
the city Sunday from Paris, Tex. He
had been down South for several
months, sightseeing and for the bene-
fit of his health.
He said that last February he stop
ped a night at the house of a farmer
near Paris. He had on his person q
pocketbook containing $3.50, all but IS
of which was paper money. At supper
a dose of poison was put in Calvert's
coffee. He fell In a stupor and was
unconscious until next day. While
under the influence of the drug Cal
vert was robbed of his roll. The next
day he missed his money and reported
the matter to the police authorities.
The farmers son was arrested and the
p~ocketbook, minus the money, was
found in his possession. He also had
several other articles on his person
that were said to be stolen. He was
convicted of theft and fined S25.
In the meantime Calvert, who had
not recovered from the poisoning, was
under the constant a r of a physi-
clan. He suffered a relapse from the
effects of the drug and for a while his
life was despaired of. For six months
he was in a dangerous condition, and
to make matters worse he was with
out means in a strange country. His
father Is a well-to-do farmer of Mex
leo, No., but George was confined
most of the time and unable to reach
his parents. Besides, he was a little
timid about seeking aid from his
father after he had insisted on leaving
home to crafty his own wishes. He
is a rather countriied young man land
from this, his first trip from home, he
declares he will learn a valuable les
son.
He managed to work his way to St.
Louis, but is so delicate that he can
not rough it to the end of his journey.
DIR. Newcomb gave George some
friendly advice and then ordered his
committal to the City Hospital pend
ing word from his father, who has
been notified.

For more than a hundred years the
Shakers have been studying the re-
medal properties of plants. They
have made many discoveries, but their
greatest achievement was made last
year. 1t is a cordial that contains all
ready digested food and is a digester
of food. 1t is effective in removing
distress after eating, and creates an
appetite for more food so that eating
becomes a pleasure. Pale, thin peo-
pie become plump and healthy under
it's use. 1t arrests the wasting of con-
sumption.
There never has been such a step
forward in the cure of indigestion as
this Shaker Cordial. Your druggist
will be glad to give you a little book
descriptive of the product.
