The Easy Pill.

DsWitt's Little Early Risers do
not gripe nor weaken the system.
They cure biliousness, jsundice, con-
stipation and inactive liVers, by
arousing the secretione, moving the
bowels gently, yet efectually, and
giving such tone and strength to the
glands of the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause of the trouble
is removed entirely. These famous
little pills exert decided tonic effect
upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for few days
there will be no return OF the trouble.

James Harold Rawl departed this
life January 22nd, 1902, aged 2l
years, ] month and l day. just
standing on the threshold of man
hood, gazing with delight at the
panorama unfolding and bouyant
with bright auticipstions, the lamp
OF life that lighted up this earthly
tenement and lighted with such bril-
liancy the clear window that looked
out from the soul, was famed out by
the chilling winds of the death
angel. Away from home, striving to
complete his education, won his
laurels and bear them in triumph to
his dear onee, he was cut down. The
mark was too bright, death saw it.,
aimed his dart and after lingering in
the balance, twixt life and death, the
scale tipped and death won. Do We
wish him back? All nc! He had
drunk only life's cup of youthful
sweets and was nearing the dregs of
realities and dissppointments. Rest
in peace, while memory weaves a
garland and lays on the altar erected
in each heart for you.
