BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked: In what way are Chamberlain s Stomach & Liver Tablets super for to pills?" Our answer is: They are easier and more pleas ant to take, more mild and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can always be depended upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in eff feet and their use is often follow ed by constipation. For sale by Dr. J.
