GOING BACK TO NATURE.
by DIR. w. LUCAS.

People get sick because they so
away from Nature, and the only way
10 get we'll is to go back. Something
grows out of tho ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every i'll.
Some of these vegetable Growths are
understood by man. and some arc not.
Animals il would seem, know what to
do when they arc sick better than
mon and women. Observers have
noted that n sick horse, dog or cat will
stop eating food and seek out some
vegetable growth in the field or yard,
which. when found and eaten, often
restores appetite and health. Haven't
you seen these animals do this very
thing yourself?
DI. Pierce, Of Buffalo. y. y, long
since found the herbs and roots pro-
vidcd by Nature to overcome constipa-
ton, and he had these vegetables coll
lccted and made up of Mayapple, leaves
Of Aloe root OF Jalap, into little white
Perce's pleasant Pellets. You must
understand that when your intestincs
are stopped up, poisons and dccaycd
matter are imprisoned in your system,
aud these arc carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does your
mead ache, YOU get dizzy. YOU can't
sleep. your skin may break ont. your
appetite declines, you get tired and
Respondent. AS u matter Of fact, you
may get sick all over. Don't you see
how useless all this suffering is? All
that ie often needed is a few of Dr.
fierce's Pleasant Pellets. which he has
placed in all drug stores for your con-
feniencc and health. Try them by all
means. They arc probably tho very
INNS you need right now.--Adv.
