A Sick Headache Cure.

AS Sick Headache is caused by irrita-
ton of the stomach and as this irritated
condition of the stomach is caused by a
disordered liver, then it is obvious that
the liver must be made healthy. If this
is done and the liver kept in a healthy
condition. sick headache will disappear.
Rydale's Liver Tablets are the best medi-
cine to make the liver healthy and keeI
it healthy. They are the prescription Of
an eminent Doctor, who made a life
study of diseases of the liver, intestines
and bowels. Rydale's Liver Tablets are
sold on guarantee. If they do moi
permanently cure sick headache the
money will be refunded.
