In this age of push and worry, the business man and the professional i man are alike unable to devote any adequate time to exercise. In the daily round or ton ana pleasure no suitable provision is made for that important function, and the result is that men of sedentary habits become subject to many forms of ailments arising from a torpid or sluggish liver. Constipation, sick headache, bill iousness and dyspepsia are all due to the improper action of the liver. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pel lets cure these troubles by restoring the liver to its normal condition. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. (Star Report Condensed.) Raleigh, Feb. 24.
