Bilious Attacks.

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in-
stead Of digesting. This inhames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and a terrible headache Take Cham
berlain's Tablets They win tone up
your liver, clean out your stomach and
you will soon be as swell as ever
They only cost q q narter, obtainable
