A disordered stomach may cause no
end of trouble. When the stomach fails
to perform its functions the bowels be-
come deranged, the liver and kidneys
congested, causing numerous diseases,
the most fatal of which are painless and
therefore the more to be dreaded. The
important thing is to restore the stom.
ach and liver to healthy condition, and
for this purpose no better preparation
can be used than Chamberlain's Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets. For sale by
