A BILIOUS ATTACK

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become censtipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nausea,
vomiting and terrible headache. Take
Chamberlain's Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost a quarter.
Obtainable everywhere. (adv.)
