WATCH OUT FOR
l YOUR VITALITY
THIS MONTH
liberty Bond,

You want to be very careful as
to your vitality this month.
You see you have been loading up
your system with heavy food and
your organs of elimination have be-
come SO clogged up with poisonous
matter that your vitality is lowered.
This made you most susceptible to
colds, catarrh, pneumonia and all
sorts of diseases. Your liver is slug
gish, your digestion is bad and your
bowels and kidneys are not working
right
Best thing to do is to come in
and get a bottle of Vim Hepatica,
the universal purifier and tonic,
which will thoroughly, yet gently
cleanse your system, restore your
vitality and make you not only feel
like new person, but make you
proof against diseases so prevalent
this time of the year.
j. c. Ammons, Gleason, and Shan
non Drug Co., Sharon, are distrib-
uting and explaining this wonderful
remedy.
