prescription of DR.. R. B. Moore of
Gwinette, Ga. in which there has
been an improvement made by sub
stituting distilled extract OF man
drake for the common water extract,
which separates the properties that
act on the liver from the irritating
resin that injure the stomach. Lax
anodine is a combination OF liver
medicine with tonic and healing medl-
cine, and is far superior TO other pre-
parations for liver, stomach and bow
el troubles. Fine for bilious fever,
jaundice, sick headache, indigestion,
constipation and dysentery or bowel
troubles. Sold on a guarantee to
satisfy or money back by Grifith's
