Are YO2G Bilious /?
Is YOatv -LiUcr ont
of order?

So closely connected with the blood Is
the liUer, that any medicine which acts
upon the blood must of necessity he
remedy for Jiiiousacss and liver diseases.
Liver complaint is most commonly
caused by impure blood. All the blood
of the body, be it pure or impure, strong
and healthy or weak and vitiated, passes
through the liver every few minutes.
The liver is the filter for the blood, sepa-
rating its impurities from it, 1t is also
the organ for secreting and preparing
the bile. Thinl; what will happen when
the liver becomes cloggcd or when it
secretes too much bile. Then comes the
dN hco'y headdche, loss Of appetite, ,lrovsi-
ness, pain in TIC right side, The skin assumes
a sickly ycllov appearance. This is called
Jaioasness, and if not at once relieved
will result in
Inflammation of the LiUer.
The only sure and safe treatment is the
use of
ROWN'.S IRON BITTERS.
This valuable remedy acts at once
and directly upon the blood, removing
all impurities, furnishing it strength
and healthy action, and when pass
ing through the liver in the liltering
processes furnishes Just the elements
needed by it to perform its operation of
secretion and preparation Of bileactively,
and thoroughly enabling it to throw off
the bile in proper and wholesome man
ner, thereby keeping the passages free,
the ducts open and the whole action of
the liver natural and healthy.
BROWN'S IRON BTTTERS
will do all this, and in doing It the drow-
siness disappears and with it the pain in
The side. The headache is cured, the skin
once more becomes fresh, clear and
smooth, the appetite is restored, and
health, glorious health, follows the use of
BROWNS IRON BTTTERS.
Constipation, which always accompanies
liver troubles, is always cured by BroDn's
Iron Bitters. All other iron medicines
produce constipation and headache.
Bro,cfS Iron BittcrS does not produce,
but cures both.
Do not be deceived and allow some
other iron preparation to be urged upon
you for ByoVn'S Iron Bitters. The dealer
may make more profit on some other arti-
Gle, but what you want and what you must
have if you would be cured of livcr dis
ease and bH,oasness is
WN'S IRON BTTTERS.
The price is only one dollar bottle.
Each bottle has trademark and crossed
red lines on the wrapper. The genuine
BROWN'S IRON BITIERS
is prepared only by the Brown Chemical
Co., Baltimore Nd, but is sold every
where.
