Usually the first indication of a

bowels and liver. Something goes
Wrong-we eat too much, or work
too hard-and the bowel action
weakens or the liver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising in
the morning, dryness Of the
throat, with bad taste, a slight
headache, dull eyes-all show that
food has fermented in the intes-
tines. and that the body is man
ufacturing poisons instead of
good blood.
Clear it all out. Give the
stomach and bowels a fresh start.
Encourage the liver 10 go to
work Manalin does all of this,
without gripping or weakening.
It's the ideal laxative and liver
tonic, because it follows Natures
