This Is Worth Reading.

You'll find that very few people make a second purchase at store where they were once persuaded to take diff ferent article from what they intended to purchase. Now this same rule should be adopted by every person who enters a store to purchase Simmons Liver Regulator. This medicine has become so popular that many limitations are being offered under different names, because the dealers are interruptions. They chuckle at their smartness, while the customer finds no relief from his miseries Beware of these smart deal- CTS. Simmons Liver Regulator is the best household medicine, and millions of people have found new life and health in taking the real article. Many call 1t "The Old Friend" and "Better than Pills" You will know it by the Red z on the package. Some people call 1t '"The great southern remedy" because it has larger sale in the south than all other liver medicines combined. You can pin your faith to it, it never dis appoints.
