Don't let anyone persuade you to
take anything else instead of Sim
mons Liver Regulator. Some mer-
chants will try to do this but not for
your good. They'do it to make a little
more profit on something which is of
an inferior quality, though you must
pay just as much for the bad as for
the good. Be sure to take Simmons
