A man with a weight en his health can't expect to eompete in life and- burneese with those who are not handicapped. A man who spends two-thirds of his time in business, and one-third of his *time being sick, cannot be expected to ac- complish more than twotthirds as much as the man who at- tends to business all the time.. If bis brain is heavy, and his blood sluggish, because of constipa- tion, he will not suc- ceed in doing any. thing very, well. Constipation is the cause of reine-tenths nf all sickness. It isn't considered sickness by most people, but it is just the name. It is serious sicktiea, hecause it eliities almost all of the health of mankind. Symp. toms of it are sallowness, listlessness, poor apPetite, bad. taste in the mouth, diz- ziness, biliousness, and las- situde. Constipation can be cured easily and certainly , by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are perfeetly sim- ple —perfectly. safe. They are not at all violent in their action, and yet they are more certain than, many medicines which are so strong tha,t they put the system all out of order. r) The great advantage of the "Pleasant Pillets ' 'is that they cure permanently. YOtt don't have to keep on taking them. You don't acquire a "pellet habit. ' Take them regularly for a while, and you are cured permanently. After that, take them only when you find your- self sufferinK from indigestion. There are many medicines offered for the same pur- pose on which druggists make a bigger profit.

It wasn't a pretty job, but she's running now. If I couldn't have done it, I'd have had to pack that shaft on mule back and send it 300 miles over the mountain to be fixed, and the mine would have been shut down till it got back. My ability to mend that shaft raised me in the eyes of every man in the mine; and the boss raised my salary." • til.1445:161t By its MO i0211 can cover the bald spot with a 1 lane growth of hair.
