FEMALE DISORDERS.
These Troubles Are Nearly Always
Caused by Torpid Liver, Poor
Digestion and Irregular
Bowel Movements.
To Permanently Cure Them the Liver
Stomach and Bowels Must
Be Put Right.

It IS fact we'll known to medical men
that very large majority of the weak
ness, irregularities and disorders pecul-
lar to women are Cue to a torpid liver
and constipated condition Of the bowels.
In men diseased liver produces kidney
trouble; in women the genital organs
being more delicate than the kidneys
are first affected, the disease spreading
later to the kidneys. To all women who
suffer irregular, excessive or suppressed
nenses, leueorrhea (whites) womb
trouble, pain or irritation we say Prickly
Ash Bitters offers YOU a speedy and per
nanent relief. It puts the liver in Wig
orous condition, empties and cleanses
the bowels and tones up the female
organs. With the liver and bowels &C
tive and healthy those distressing bearing
down side and back pains, spells OF
weakness, heart throbbing, faintness,
nausea viii quickly disappear, giving
place to feeling OF yigor and buoyancv
OF spirits. The eve is Frightened, the
complexion IS cleared, the whole body
strengthened and improved, thus chang
ing weak, nervous, respondent woman
into one OF sparkling health and cheer
fuluess. Prickly Ash Bitters is in this
respect a boon TO suffering womanhood.

A Remedy That No One Is
Afraid To Take.

DIR. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup
has been used in thousands of homes for
ifty-two years with perfect confidence

Doctors and Druggists everywhere do
not hesitate to recommend a preparation
which they know contains the best
known remedies for correcting all irreg-
u1arities of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood,
