A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead of digesting. This
infames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and terrible
headache. Take Chamberlain
Tablets. They will tone up your
liver, clean out your stomach and
you will soon be as we'll as ever.
They only cost a quarter.
