A 20 Cent Box Will Keep Your Liver,

Sick headache. billiousness, dizziness.
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver, delayed fermenting food in the
bowels or sour. gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead Of being cast out Of
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conges-
ton and that dull, throbbing, sicken-
ing headache.
Salts. cathartic pills. oil and purga-
tive waters force q passageway for a
day or two-yes-but they don't take
the poisons out and have no effect
upon the liver or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach. remove the
sour undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out Of the
system all the decomposed waste mat
ter and poisons in the intestines and
bowels.

is impressed in review of his life that
he had no temptation to be WHY or

his duties with an eye single to the
merits of the controversy which he
was to decide.
Omitted with other great qualities OF

that his decisions are not so replcte

held office. While some of the inter-
pretations engrafted upon the constitu.

surprising, nature, 1t is no doubt true
that it must have been foreseen that
there would be a necessity OF interpre-
tation and construction of its various

-"An excellent summary Of the prin-
ciples of construction which should be
applied to the constitution, has been
given by Judge Marshall himself In

the instrument must prevail. that
this intention must be collected
from it's words; that Its words are

which they are generally used by
those for whom the instrument
was intended; that its provisions

said more at large, and is all that

not capable of expressing in a more
concise and luminous manner the CEN

statement than is there expressed. 1t
is this wonderful gift of expression or
thought, clear cut as diamond, with
no unnecessary qualifying words or
phrases, that gives the opinions OF
Judge Marshall much Of Judge Mar

used in most Of the opinions prepared
