Cure for
Constipation. Biliousness, Dvspepsia, Indigestion,
Liver Complaints, Tired Feeling, Had laste in
the AfSuth, Bad Complexion, Nervousness and all
lasts of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels.
" Blood! ae Liver Pills"
act gently, yet thoroughly upon the bowels, liver,
stomach and digestive organs. The pills, in old
aad chronio?a.ek oi constipation and indigestion,
act at once, without griping, nor do they leave any
unpleasant after-eu'eus, nor form a constant habit
el pursis*. produced by other cathartic remedies.
" Bloodies Liver Pub "
restore the deranged and torpid liver to Its normal
condition and healthful action. Remove and pre?
vent constipation by securing a natural and regu?
lar operation of the bowels, and relieve those un?
pleasant symptoms which attend a diseased or
morbid condition of the liver, stomach and bowels.
To assist in attaining this end, the following sug?
gestions art offered.
REMARKS. Everyone who uses pills for
their action on the lifer, should know that large
doses rarely prove as satisfactory as small ones.
Large doses simply purge and pass out of the sys?
tem, usually leaviag the bowels constipated, and
seldom removing if* ranee of the trouble, or im?
prove the general health. On the other band,
assail doses develop the alterative effect of Um
medicine, do sot irritate or constipate the bowels,
but gentry stimulate Um liver and prevent the
sasssftdSS of bile by directing its now into the
proper Channels. Therefore it Is advisable to com
seance by taking not over one or two pills at bed
tass ass ktorasae dote as necessary.
Portland, Ma,
Osnrrs: ?I And your 4< Blondine Liver Pills"
the most effective pill I ever used. They cause
so griping or coast!pative after effect es most liver
pills do. Yours truly,

score of 18 to 6. G. S. M. A.'s Ina?

their defeat. Stuckey pitched a
smooth game until the sixth inning,
when he was relieved by Frlerson,
who was wild and allowed more hits
to be made. The main features of
the game was Clark's and Moore's
horn run. "Fish" Sanders umpired
a very good game, but was a little off
on strikes and balls.
