Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done for Humanity
BY DOCTOR CRIPPS.

It has Always seemed to me that DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed
near the top when a list of America 8
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to de-
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
remedy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought at small
price. He did not follow the usual custom
of keeping the ingredients secret, SO that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name of
each root and herb he used. And so today
the names of Or. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet
ter health and better citizenship.
One of this great physicians most sue
cessful remedies is known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugar
coated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves
of aloe, root Of Jalap-things that Nature
grows in the ground. These Pellets are
safe because they move the bowels gently,
leaving no had after-efects, as so many
pills do Very often they make person
who takes them feel like a new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines of
hard, decayed and poisonous matter that
accumulates when one is costive. If you
are constipated, by all means go to your
druggist and get some of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to be
the very thing your system requires to
make you well and happy.
