biliousness, sick and bilious headache, costiveness, or
constipation of the bowels, sour stomach, windy belchings, "heart-burn,"
pain and distress after eating, and kindred derangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels.

Persons subject to any of these troubles should never be without a vial
of the "Pleasant Pellets" at hand. In proof of their superior excellence
it can be truthfully said that they are always adopted as a household
remedy after the first trial.

The "Pleasant Pellets" are far more effective in arousing the liver to
action than "blue pills," the old-fashioned compound cathartic pills,
calomel or other mercurial preparations, and have the further merit of
being purely vegetable in their composition and perfectly harmless in
any condition of the system. Furthermore, no particular care is required
while using them.

Being composed of the choicest, concentrated vegetable extracts, their
cost of production is much more than that of most pills found in the
market, yet from forty to forty-four of them are put up in each glass
vial, as sold through druggists, and can be had at the price of the more
ordinary and cheaper made pills. Once used, they are always in favor.
Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to
further constipate, as is the case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and their
attendant discomfort and manifold derangements.

For all laxative and cathartic purposes the "Pleasant Pellets" are
infinitely superior to all "mineral waters," sediltz powders, "salts,"
castor oil, fruit syrups (so-called), laxative "teas," and the many
other purgative compounds sold in various forms.

If people generally, would pay more attention to properly regulating the
action of their bowels, they would have less frequent occasion to call
for their doctor's services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases.
Hence it is of great importance to know what safe, harmless agent best
serves the purpose of producing the desired action.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING DR. PIERCE'S PLEASANT PELLETS.

In all cases, the size of dose to be taken must be regulated somewhat by
the known susceptibility of the individual to the action of laxative and
cathartic medicines. Some persons' bowels are readily acted upon by
small doses, while others require more. As a general rule, the smaller
doses which we recommend, are quite sufficient, and produce the b
