Are You Looking Old?

Old age comes quick enough
without inviting it. Some look
old at forty. That is because
they neglect the liver and bowels.
Keep your bowels regular and
your liver healthy and you will
not only feel younger but look
younger. When troubled with
constipation or biliousness take
Chamberlain's Tablets. They are
intended especially for these all
ments and are excellent. Easy
to take and most agreeable in ef-
