No people suffer SO much from ply
steal disabilities as those whose busl-
ness requires little or no muscular
exertion. The lack of exercise causes
the liver to become sluggish and the
result is constant Constipation, Indi-
gestion, BiIiousness and Sick Head
ache. To prevent this take Simmons
Liver Regulator; it keeps the liver
active and makes ones condition as
comfortable as those who have much
exercise.
