When boy turns his bullying pocket
inside out we marvel at the quantity
and variety of articles he has slowed
away. Odd lengths of string, marbles,
horse n top, brass nails, hick
Ory-nuts, an apple, and many more ar
ticles are garnered by this snapper up
of unconsidered trifes " We think the
collection must he hard on a boys peck
ct And it is. But do we ever think Of
the variety and miscellany of the sub
stances we put into the pocket OF our
stomach? There's the apple and the
nuts, and things besides quite as indi-
gestible as brass nails ana with no more
food value than so many marbles. And
yet we wonder that the stomach "give5
out" When the stomach breaks down
under the strain of careless eating and
irregular meals it can be perfectly and
permanently restored to health and
strength by the use of Doctor Pierce.
Golden Medical Discovery. The action
of this medicine on the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
is so mark ed, that relief from disease il
at once experienced, and the headac h e.
liver "troubles," kidney disorders, skin
eruptions and other symptoms of a dis
eased stomach are quickly cured. When
ever the use of a laxative medicine j,
indicated, use DR. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets. They act in harmony with tn,
discovery" and assist its action by
purging the bowels of foul accumula
