Brunt & Parnnan,

The pain that sometimes strikes a
man at the most inopportune moment
is due to Indigestion. 1t may come in the
midst of dinner and make the feast a
mockery. 1t is a reminder that he
may not eat what he chooses, nor when
he chooses. He is a slave to the weak
ness of his stomach. A mans health
and strength depend upon what he
gets out of his food. This depends on
his digestion. Remove the obstruction
by taking Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They are positive cure for constipa-
ton and its attendant ills-headaches,
sour stomach, flatulence, dizziness,
biliousness and "heartburn'. The
pellets" are very gentle in ther action.
They simply assist nature. They give
no violent wrench to the system. They
cause no pain, nor gripping.
