They act in the mildest, easiest,
most natural way. No violence, no
reaction afterward, and their help
lasts. They permanently cure Con-

tacks, Sick or Bilious Headaches, and
all arrangements of the liver, stom-

They're put up in sealed vials.
This keeps them always fresh and
reliable, unlike the ordinary pills in
wooden and pasteboard boxes.
They're the cheapest, for they're
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
your money is returned. You pay
only for the good you get.
