SYMPTOMS
Slight Symptoms Sometimes
Presage Serious Results.

Do you feel tired, have you a
complexion, constipation, head
ache, bad breath, sleeplessness
or circles around your eyes? If
so, you are undoubtedly suffering
from some liver complaint.
Perhaps you don't feel very
badly now, but delay is danger
Gus. To ALLOW your liver to con-
tinue out of order, is to invite a
serious chronic illness.
Whenever you have the slight
est symptoms of liver trouble,
stop it Immediately. You can do
it harmlessly and mildly by TAX
ing L1v- VER-LAX, the natural
vegetable compound that is re-
placing calomel everywhere. 1t

HOW FRENCH PEOPLE
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting Of pure vegetable
oil, and said to possess wonderful merit
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles, has been introduced
in this country by George II. Mayr, who
for twenty years has been one of the
leading downtown druggists Of Chi
cago and who himself was cured by its
use. So quick and effective is its action
that a single dose is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases. and many people who
have tried it declare they never heard
OF anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short a time. It. is known
as Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and can
now be had at all leading drug stores.
Il is sold with the positive understand
ing that your money will be refunded
without question or bubble If ONE
bottle fails to give you absolute satis-
