The trouble with most Of the 80
called dyspepsis-cures is, that they
don't cure. They give only temporary
relief. Indigestion usually extends
all through the digestive tract, from
the stomach clear down to the large
intestine; the liver too is frequently
involved in the trouble, being torpid
and inactive. For a thorough radical,
permanent cure you must have the
whols digestive organism set right
not violently stirred up, but regulated,
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will do 1t,
They stimulate the digestive juices oil
the stomach; invigorate the liver and
heIp It to actively secrete the bile;
and act gently on the bowels to pro-
mote q regular healthy movement
This means 9 complete and lasting
cure OF digestive troubles.
