''ClSCARETS' MAKE
YOU FEEL GREAT
Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish
bowels while you sleep.

Sick headache, biliousness. dizziness
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver, decayed 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 con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Salts. cathartic pills, oil and purga-
tive waters force a passageway for
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 consttpated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels
A Cascaret tonight will surely

from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
