DEPRESSED SPIRITS.
Every One Has 1t Within His Power
20 BE Happy.

A celebrated French physician has
said that "a mans liver is the baron

Every man and every woman
knows that the cheerful smile is q
big factor in ones success.
Every one should know that the
disordered liver is the cause of 90
per cent of human ills. Lazy, over
worked livers are the prime causes
of headaches, Indigestion, Constipa-
ton and dozens of other ills.
But the inactive liver always
warns by coated tongue, sour sto-
mach dull eye and even laziness.
Heed your warning and you insure
happiness to yourself and reflect it
upon your associates. Calomel used
