suffering from liver trouble imagine that
all they have to do Is to take something
that will physic them. There is more
than that in the cure Of so serious a dis
order as liver trouble.
When that droWsy. clogged up feeling comes
on you go TO O drug store and ask for q 5 cent
or VI bottle OF DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

not only clean out the bowels and stimulate the

tons OF the stomach so that your appetite re-
turns and you feel like your old self again. A
simple laxntlve or purRatiye could not do that

troubles as likely to result from the
