Breath-HaS Good Business
Head

Under his new $4,000 contract with
the Mutual Film corporation, Charlie
Chaplin draws about as cents every
time he draws his breath.
Chaplin signed up at this stupendous
salary after dickering for months with
many moving picture companies. His
contract with Essanay has just ended.
They paid him more than the president
of the United States receives. but he
held out for still more. When they
wouldn't come across, Chaplin threw
himself upon the open market, with the
result that the Mutual company took
him at his own price.
Although Chaplin has made scores of
comedies for Essanay during the past
year, yet they have not released any of
these. 1t is said that they are holding
most of them back until the comedies
that Chaplin makes for the Mutual are
released. Then, it is said, Essanay will
flood the market with Charlie Chaplin,
thus endeavoring to put a crimp into
the Mutual stuff.

A STRANGE CASE
Right Here in Georgia.

Atlanta, Cav found DR.. Pierce's
advice most satisfactory in quite
a peculiar train of circumstances. Soon
after arising in the morning peculiar
feeling would begin at my stomach,
which seemed to swell, everything
would become dark and l would faint
dead away. When became conscious,
vomiting would set in and very large
beads of perspiration would cover my
entire body and. would vet my clothes
through and through, also had trouble
peculiar to women. insufficient sleep
also retarded my gain. My blood, no
doubt, was poisoned by my being
badly constipated. The constipation
was relieved, however, by the Pleasant
Pellets and, wonderful to say, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery en-
tirely cured my case of unusual health.
The trouble never returned."-MRs. ID.

An imitation of natures method OF
replacing waste of tissue, enriching inn
poverished blood and increasing nerve
force is when you take all Alternative ex-
tract of herbs and roots made with pure
glycerine, without the use of alcohol,
like Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This vegetable medicine
coaxes the digestive functions and helps
in the assimilation of food, or rather
takes from the food just the nutriment
the blood requires.
Pure blood is essential to good
health, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery not only cleanses the blood
of impurities, but it increases the
activity of the blood-making glands,
and enriches the body with an
abundant supply of pure, rich blood.
