establish a healthy condition. For these reasons we shall often advise
its employment.

DR. PIERCE'S PLEASANT PURGATIVE PELLETS. These pellets combine the pure,
concentrated, active principles of several vegetable alteratives, and
the result is, that within the small compass of a few grains he has most
happily blended and chemically condensed these properties so that their
action upon the ANIMAL ECONOMY is sanative and universal. They awaken
the latent powers, quicken the tardy functions, check morbid deposits,
dissolve hard concretions, remove obstructions, promote depuration,
harmonize and restore the functions, equalize the circulation, and
encourage the action of the nervous system. They stimulate the glands,
increase the peristaltic movement of the intestines, tone the nutritive
processes, while aiding in evacuating the bowels. All this they
accomplish without corroding the tissues or vitiating the fluids. Their
assistance is genial, helping the system to expel worn out materials,
which would become noxious if retained. Having expended their remedial
powers upon the various functions of the body, they are themselves
expelled along with other waste matter, leaving behind them no traces of
irritation. This cannot be said of mercurials, or of other harsh,
mineral alteratives. These Pellets may be safely employed when the
system is feeble, frail, and delicate, by giving them in less
quantities. _Dose_--As an alterative, only one or two Pellets should be
taken daily.
