KASPARILLA

This sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for world OF
troubles" For arrangements of the d.
gestive organs it is a natural corrective
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation OF
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi.

ency due to inactivity of the liver,
