Constipation is positively cured by
Carter's Little Liver Pills. Not by purg.
ing and weakening the bowels but by
regulating and strengthening them. This
is done by improving the digestion and
stimulating the liver to the proper secre-
ton of bile, when the bowels will per.
form their customary functions in an easy
and natural manner. Purgative pills
must be avoided. Ask for Carter's Little
