ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED

often by not feeling well enough to at
tend some social gathering, or to keep an
appointment, on account of an attack of
Indigestion? Such experiences cause dis
appointment, don't they?
You can ward off these attacks, and
keep your stomach and digestive organs
healthy by taking SEVEN BARKS, Ma
lures remedy of roots and herbs.
When the stomach is out of order, the
liver not working properly or the bowels
are sluggish, few doses of SEVEN
BARl<S will stimulate the liver, regulate
the flow of bile, expel distressing acids
and dangerous poisons, and quickly re-
store you back to good digestion and
normal health.
Stomach disorders are the direct cause
of nearly all the ailments that affect the
human system, and make life burden,
instead of pleasure.
Digestive trouble also spoils beauty,
robs you of sleep, makes dark rings
around the eyes, and ruins the complex
ion. Let SEVEN BARKS digest your
food and tone your stomach, then you
may eat what you like and bright eyes
viii soon return.
Ask your druggist for SEVEN BARKS.
If he does not happen to have it, he will
get it for you. Accept no substitute.
