known in this city and state and has
hosts of friends and acquaintances

The man with a weight on his leg
can’t hope to win in the race. A man
with a weight on his health can’t ex
pect to compete in life and business witli
those who are uot handicapped. If his
brain is heavy, and his blood sluggish,
because of constipation, he will not sue
cced In doing anything very well. Con
. stipation is the cause of nine-tenths of
all sickness. Symptoms of it are sal
lowness, listlessness, poor appetite, bad
taste in the mouth, dizziness, billious
ness, acd lasltudo. Constipation can
be cured easily and certainly by the use
of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They
are not at all violent in their action,
and yet they are more certain than many
medicines which are so strong that they
put the system all out of . order. The
great advantage of the “Pleasant Pel-
I lets” that they cure permanently.
