Makes Life Worth Living

sYou cannot be Constipated and happy
at the same time. If almost everything
you eat distresses you, and brings on
a headache, gas on the stomach, heart
burn, ETC., you can easily eliminate
these conditions by taking SEVEN
BARKS, the favorite root and herb
remedy for stomach disorders.
SEVEN BARKS will expel the dis
tressing acids, and dangerous poisons,
and help you back to good digestion
and active health, making life worth
living again.
Do you sleep WE'LL? or are you trout
bled with almost sleepless nights 7
While there are many causes for sleep
lessness, it generally happens that de-
ranged stomach, liver or intestines are
the real cause of the trouble. If your
appetite is not good, or food distresses
you, or the bowels do not move daily,
you can get quick relief from these
disagreeable conditions by simply TAX
ing 10 to 20 drops of SEVEN BARKS
in little water after meals; this is
natures remedy made, from the cx-
tracts of Root and Herbs, has stood
the test for nearly SO years, and will
certainly give you feeling of new life.
If you would have the glow of health,
and Danish the blues, don't neglect to
ask your druggist for sen VEN
BARKS. Costs but so cents. {
