How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on q
healthy coalition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver be inactive, you
have bilious look; if your stomach
be disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys be affected. you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health. and you will surely have good
looks. Electric Bittsrs" is good
