"Cleanliness is next to godliness. "
Dirt and depravity go hand in hand.
This is just as true of the inside OF
the body as the outside. Constipa-
tion clogs the body and clouds the
mind. Constipation means that COR
rnption is breeding in the body, pois-
oning the blood with its foul emana-
tons, befOgging the brain with it's
tainted Civilizations. Constipation is
the beginning of more diseases than,
perhaps, any other single disorder.
The consequences of disorder are
legion. Headache, pain in the side,
shortness of breath, undue fullness
after eating, GOODNESS of the eXtremi-
ties, nervousness, INDIGESTION, lassitude,
di22yness, sallowness, datulenCe, and
score Of other ailments are directly
caused by constipation. Cure con-
stipation and you cure its conse-
quences. The quickest cure of this
evil is obtained by the use of DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are
small in size but wonderful in result.
They cure permanently. They con-
tain no Injurious Ingredients. The
use of them does not beget the "pill
habit" Ask your druggist for them.
