Weekly Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they 70
away from Nature. and the only way
to get well is to 30 back. Something
grows out Of the ground In tho form
Of vegetation to cure almost every Ill.
Some of these vegetable growths are
understood by man. and some are not.
Animals, 1t would seem. know what to
do when they are sick better than
men ind women. Observers have
noted that 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 yourscif3
DR., Pierce. Of Buffalo. N. Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature TO overcome constipation, and he
had these vegetables collected and made
up Of Mayapplc. leaves Of Aloe, root Of
Jalap. into little white sugar.coated pills,
that he called DR.. Picrcs's Pleasant Pellets.
You must understand that when your In.
testines arc stopped up. poisons and de.
cayed matter are imprisoned In your ,ys
TEN. and these arc carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does your
head ache. you get dizzy. you can't sleep,
your akin may break out. your appetite de-.
elines. you get tired and despondsnt. A.
. matter Of fact, you may ct sick al
over. Don't you zee how ussless ali this
suffering hi All that 10 often needed y
few Of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which he has placed In eli drug stores ior
your convenience and health. Try them
BY ell means. They are probably The vsry

Improvement in Vacuum Cleaners in a decade

A Regina is better than a suction
cleaner, because its revolving gear
driven floating brush, incased in a
dust-proof partition, instantly picks up
ali thread, lint, ETC., combs out the
rug; the uniform, strong, yet mild
suction, draws up all dust and waste
into dirt bag; gets all germ-laden dust
without injury to the rug-cleans it SO
thoroughly that you do not have to
dust after running the machine over
the rug.
In addition the Regina is adjustable to
various length rug maps, and the air
cooled horizontal motor enables the
operator to run under low furniture.
So easy to hancle-a child can use .
