Assist nature little now and then with n
gentle laxative, or, II need be- with n more
searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby
removing offending matter from the stom-
ach and bowels, and touing up and invigo-
rating the liver and quicEening its tardy
action, and you thereby remove the cause
of multitude Of distressing diseases, such
g. headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skin
diseases, boils, carbuncles. piles, fovers and
