containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
1t will cure all Diseases caused by Derange-
ment Of the Liver and Bowels.
Thu SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are q
bitter or bad taste Ia the mouth; Pain in the
Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu-
matisin; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appctite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache;
Loss OF Memory, with q painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance OF the Skin and Eyes, q dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many Of these symptoms attend

ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator;
