Sick poison is a poison which makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stomach.
The stomach makes it out of undigested
food. The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with 1t. That's the way of
it. The way to be rid of it is to look
after your digestion. If your food is all
properly digested, there will be none
left in the stomach to make sick poison
out of. If yourstomach is too weak to see
to this properly by itself, help It along
with few doses of Shaker Digestive
Cordial. That's the cure of it. Shaker
Digestive Cordial is delicious, health
full, tonic cordial, made ofpure medicin-
al plants, herbs and wine. 1t positively
cures indigestion and prevents the for
nation of sick poison. At druggists
Trial bottles 10 cents.

A foul breath is one of the greatest affiic-
lions that a man or woman can have. An
attiiction not only to themselves, but to
those wi h whom they come in contact A
foul breath is great discourager of affec-
ton. 1t would proably be more so II people
only realized just what bad breath means.
Bad breath is one OF the symptoms of con-
stipation. Some of the other symptoms are
sour stomach, loss of appetite, sick and bill
ious headche, dizziness, heartburn and dis
tress after eating. These things mean indi-
gestion. They lead to dyspepsia and worse
things. They all start with constipation,
and constipation is inexcusable because it
can be cured-cured easily, quickly and
permanently, by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets They give to nature just
the little help that she needs There is no
case of biliousness, constipation, indiges-
ton, heartburn, or any of the rest of the
nightmare breeding brood, that these little
Pellets will not cure. Send 81 cents in l.

The OsDrey's Nest.

/ The osprey's nest is built of twigs,
sticks, turf and plant stalks, inter-
laced with pliable stems and with sea-
weed. Surprisingly heavy materials
are used. Pine boughs thick set<with
conessare often bound in with the rest.
All this great pile, and great pile it
really is, is more or less soaked with
salt water and impregnated with the
oil of fish; and Rev. Francis Orpen Nor
ris, whose magnificent British Birds
contains most interesting article on
the subject, thinks that it is because of
this salty dampness and of the fish oil
that trees bearing the nests commonly
live but few years. The nest is lined
with sea grasses, and in the course of
successive seasons of use accumulates
a padding of down. It is repaired each
spring on the arrival of it's owners and
again each fall before their immigra-
ton to the south. In this constant at
teption is perhaps to be found the Sc
cret of its marvellous resistance to the
high winds that batter it the winter
through without avail.-Philadelphia
