Nowadays when women are trying to do
everything II Is not strange that many things
are over done. 1t Is not strange that there
are all kinds of physical and mental dis
turbances. Ii the woman who Ia doctor,
or lawyer, or a journalist, or In business
would not try to he a society woman too 1t
might be different, but the woman too It
knows when she has done days work has
yet to be born. Usually a woman's way Is
to keep doing until she drops. Working In
this way has manifold evils The most
common trouble resulting from over exer-
ton, either mentally or physically, is consti-
patton of the bowels, with all its attendant
horrors.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the most
effectual remedy In the market. They
work upon the system easily, naturally.
There Is no unpleasant nausea after taking
them. No gripping, no pain. no discomfort.
They are composed Of materials that go
through the system gradually, collecting all
impurities and, like the good little servants
that they are, disposing of them effectually.
