PrOlOnging Life.

While no way has yet been found to
make life perpetual, it is fact that life
can be prolonged. Many people die
before their time because the organs
become clogged and can not do their
work. To keep the body open, active
and free from impurities there must be
no constipation, dyspepsia, fatulency,
liver troubles, etc, If old or young
people suffer from these complaints
they can find a ready cure with DIR.

lutely guaranteed to do what is claimed
