Why?

When you do not relish your food it
is we'll to inquire the reason why.
Your stomach may be debilitated. your
liver torpid, your bowels constipated.
or you may be eating too much. Many
people eat more than they should, par
ticularly those of middle age OF older,
and those Of sedentary habits. If your
lack of appetite or relish for your food
arises from either of these causes.
correct your habits and take n few
doses of Chamberlain's Tablets. They
will do you good, give you a better ap-
petite and make you feel better.-Adv.
