SEEMS as if all the things we like disa- gree with us, and all the things we don’t like, agree with us. Dyspepsia lurks iu most of the good things we eat, an indigestion follows the gratification of lappetite. Of course, vit isn’t Nature’s fault. Nature does the best she can, and if a man will only help her a little bit at the right time, he may €at what he likes and as much as he likes. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are for eople who are troubled with indigestion. Bartic ularly for those in whom it manifests itself in the form of constipation. |The “Pellets? are quick and easy in their ac- tion. They are in perfect harmony with Nature. They effect a permanent cure. You need take them regularly only a little while. After that, use them occasionally when you need them—when you have eaten something that disagrees with you. They may be taken just as freely as you would take water or any other necessity of life. Once used they are always in favor. BUTTER WEEKLY TIMES ~~ LOGAL ITEMS For Rext.—The T T.
