The accumulated impurities in the
blood cause very different symptoms
with some people. The kidneys,
liver and bowels are overmatched III
their efforts TO relieve the clogged
system. Dizzy headaches, bilious
attacks, failure of appetite, coated
tongue, lame back, indigestion and
that tired feeling are some results.
From the same cause may also come
scrofula, neuralgia, sciatica or rheu-

All these troubles and more may prop
