would be the price Of "a perfect
straight edge of glass 36 inches long"

fect" said Mr.. Rrashear, "but 1t could
probably be made with a limit of error
amounting to only fraction Of wave

The workman often eats his lunch
on the same bench where he does his
work. The office man turns his desk
into a dining-table. Neither gets the
cut of doors exercise he needs, neither
takes the proper time for eating. It is
small wonder that the digestion of
both gets out of order. In such cases
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets come TO
their assistance by aiding nature in
taking care of the food. The cause of
nine-tenths of the sickness of the
world is constipation. From this one
cause come indigestion; disorders of
the stomach, liver and kidnevs.
biliousness, headaches, flatulence.
heartburn, impurity of the blood and
the serious complications that follow.
TO begin with, constipation is a little
thing, and little thing will cure it.
The pheasant Pellets" are tiny, sugar.
coated granules. They will perfectly
cure the worst case Of constipation and |
Indigestion. If the druggist tries to |
yell you some other pill that pays him
greater profit, just think of what will
best pay you.
