How to Fool a Lazy Liver
with Artificial Exercise

YTA VERY serious Sickness has
Il small beginning.
And, In nine cases out Of
LIZ ten that small beginning is
made In the Bowels.
Indigestion is the beginning Of most
diseases.
II paves the way for all others.
Lack of exercise, hasty eating, improper
food, are Its first causes.
Laziness. and pos,ponement, permits it
to grow into Chronic Constipation, which
means lifelong Discomfort.
Itisn't necessary to be sick-a-bed, you
know, In order to be mighty uncom-
Portable.
Even slight indigestion affects the
nerves, dulls the mind. and obscures the
merry sunshine Of Life.
And, Indigestion once started, grx~s
fast, corrodcs temperament, and discounts
happiness, good cheer, capacity.
1t does that long before It puts you on
the Sick list.
Every thinking Doctor knows why.
Professor Rand knew It.
That's why he framed up for students
his famous formula for Happiness. viz:
"Trus. in God, and keep your Bowels
OPEN"
The Bowels need adjustment from timo
to time, Just like clock, or watch.
No"Good time is humanity possible
without this.
And. the time to adjust the watch is
not when 1t has run down, nor when the
main spring is broken, but at tho very
minute adjustments discovered necessary.
Tho time to adjust the Bowels is not
merely when your Head Aches, when your
Liver is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt, and
Natures Food Process retarded for "a
hours or longer.
Tho proper time to adjust them is the
very minute you suspect they need adjust
ment.
