Democratic Sentinel, Volume 12, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 August 1888 — “Purgatory Bullets.” [ARTICLE]

“Purgatory Bullets.”

An excited Irishman lately rushed into a Boston drug store, having a “broken-up” appearauce generally. “Be jabbers!” he yelled, “I'm all wroDg entoirely. I want some shtuff to straighten me out Some o’ thim ‘Purgatory Bullets’ will fix me, I’m thinkin’. What d’ye tax for thim?” “What do you mean?” asked the clerk. ‘“Purgatory Bullets,’ sor, or somethin’’loike that, they call thim,” replied the man. “Shure, I’m in purgatory already, with headache, and liver complaint, aud bad ahtom&ch, and the divil knows what all.” The clerk passed out a vial of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellet*, and Pat went off contented. Theqe little Pellets cure all derangements of liver, stomach aud bowels. Sugar-coated, little larger thau mustard seeds, and pleasant to taka Druggists. A Vermont woman broke her jaw, and her husband facetiously called her tha “ex-speaker.” —New York Star.
