Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity i
BY DOCTOR cniPPS.
It has always seemed to mo that
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., should be
placed near the top when a list of
America’s great benefactors is written,
lie studied and conquered human dis
eases to a degree that few realize.
Whenever he found a remedy that over
came disease, he nt once announced it
in the newspapers and told where it
could be bought at a small price. He
did not follow the usual custom of
keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
of each root and herb he used. And
so to-day the names of Dr. Pierce and
his medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physician’s most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed of
Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap—
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe beenuse they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after-effects, as so many pills do.
Very often they make a person who
takes them feel like a new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one is costive.
If you are constipated, by all means
go to your druggist and get some of
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They
may prove to be the very thing your
Bystem requires to make you well and
happy.
Mark Well The
Trail of Dragon
By C. M. MORRISON.
ONE year ago the Hun dragon had
planted his feet over all Middle
Europe. He held in his hooked
claws all of Europe south from the
Baltic to the Swiss Alps, southeast to
the Bosphorus, and northward almost
to the White Sea. He had dragged
his slimy way through the blood of
Belgium till he stood on the shores
of the English Channel, facing his foes
in England.
He had reached well nigh to the Per
sian Gulf and had linked the Turk to
his holdings. And—he had long since
looked across the Atlantic and spied
out the land in America.
The dragon had crept softly here
and there about the earth for forty
years. He had intrenched himself in
South America and in Mexico. How
strongly is shown by the fact that even
after the old empire of the Hun has
gone down in blood and dust, the fol
lowers of the kaiser are still standing
by the old regime, still plotting and
scheming through Latin America.
And we know what outposts the Hun
held here in America. We know what
we should have known and taken into
account ten, yes, twenty years ago.
We know the efforts that were made
to make the Hun language the required
language in the public schools of some
of our American states. In the pub
lic schools, mind you, o-f the English
speaking United States of America.
We know now better than we once
did the meaning of the many German
societies in this country. We know ■
what service they rendered and at- «
tPmntoH rondos t linn T »»v, A -
the war first broke in Europe. The
trail of the dragon was very plain in
the United States during the first
years of the war and we know' mat
the spirit never died in many Huns
living in America. Even the breaking
of the old empire failed to stamp it
out entirely.
<
\
$
WE DID a good deal during the
war toward blotting out the
trail of the dragon in the
United States. Had the war lasted
longer we would have done far more.
Do you recall that in you- earliest
childhood you were taught somewher,
somehow, that the tail of a sr ake nev
er dies until sundown comes no mat
ter how flat the serpent’s head was
crushed?
That was a childhood superstition
and yet we all know that a snake’s
tail wriggles for a long time after the
serpent has been put out of the way
of doing any more harm. And the
dragon’s tall still wriggles, the tall of
the Hun dragon is still wriggling in
a good many places in the world out
side of Berlin.
—-- Kri Kn» 4V,
Is a suspicious liveliness, a menacing
Wriggling here and there over the
earth that will bear watching. Bolshe
vism is one of the forms that this men
ace, that this movement, is taking.
Germany is wrestling with it and it
is raising itself here and there over
the world. Spawned in Germany, it
is of the dragon’s brood. It has over
come Russia, the Russia that i4 was
loosed upon through German influence.
America wants no more of Bolshe
vism than it does of anything else that
Is German. It bears the “Made in
Germany’’ on it. It carried that mark
when it was exported irom Germany
into Russia in the carpet bags of
Lenine and Trotsky.
THE VICTORY Liberty Loan will
do as much tow'ard getting
America back on a peace basis
as will the signing of the peace
treaties. It has become absolutely
necessary that it be raised if we are
to get ahead and not sink back into
the quicksands of after-the-war diffi
culties.

Jt is the heavy hammer wherewith
we propose to flatten the tail of the
dragon Just as effectively as we flat
tened the dragon's head last Septem
ber and October around Verdun and in
the woods of the Argonne. We don’t
want the dragon to come to life again
in any form, and the Victory Liberty
Loan is the present weapon that will
serve our turn.
There is nothing that would pleas*>
Germany, new and old, better than to
have the American Victory Liberty
Loan fail—it would put new life in the
imperial schemers all over the world
The dragon tail would wriggle mur'-*
powerfully than it does notv. For the
dragon died hard, if he, indeed, b.
dead now. There are millions of his
followers who would welcome the
chance to put hinr on his feet again.
To utterly slay the dragon, to put
an end to the menace of the Bolshe
vists and to shove war so far into the
future that it cannot threaten the
peace of America, the Victory Liberty
Loan must be subscribed. To prevent
the distressing after effects of war
and to maintain American prosperity
at its present height and level, the Vic
tory Liberty Loan should be pushed
quickly to successful completion.
THH UNRETURNING.
For us, the dead, though young,
For us, who fought and bled.
Let a last song be sung, ’
And a last word be said!
Dreams, hopes, and high desires.
That leaven and uplift,
On sacrificial fires
We offered as a gift.
We gave, and gave our all,
In gladness, though in pain;
Let not a whisper fall
