GIFTS BY THE USE OF THIS FORMULA
Many Slight symptoms are Said to Precede the Disease

1t is a well-known fact that ali over
this country operations to remove the
appendix are becoming too frequent.
1t is unquestionably necessary course
to pursue after the disease once gets
hold, but, nevertheless, large per-
centage OF patients die.
Many eminent physicians have stud
led the disease unsuccessfully. and
only until recently has a formula,
purely vegetable, been discovered,
that not only serves as a preventive,
keeping the digestive organs in a
healthy condition, but which acts di-
rectly as a non-irritant to the walls OF
the intestine and appendix.
Green Mountain Pearls not only
prevent, but oftentimes cure the
disease, unless too far advanced, when
the knife can only save in a very few
cases. The cause of Appendicitis is
constipation. The contents of the
small intestine become hardened and
little corrections form, which, by irri-
tating the walls of the intestines and
appendix, set up either liberation or
catarrhal inflammation. These Jumps
of hardened faces (concretions) are
rapidly dissolved by the Green Noun
tain Pearls, and the catarrhal condition
relieved by their healing properties.

Of that kind Of crimef It is undsniahly

believe also that Ethey are very rare.
The real safeguard Of community lies
In the fact that 50 few murderers posses

the test revealed 1t plainly not only In
the remains. but In certain medicines.
The demonstration was SO conclusive that
she finally arose in court and admitted

that she followed his own express direo-

Of poisoning ever heard Of occurred

In illustration of the working powers
of George Il. Sims, the dramatist and
poet, it is said that one night new piece
was produced at leading tbeater in Lon
don. Sims sat it out and then returned
to his Office, where he wrote column
and half of criticism in rhyme. 1t was
near the time for the paper to go to
press when he began, and the boy took
the piece verse by verse from him to the
composing room, the boy walking con-
tinuously from one to the other for an
hour.
