Sick headache. biliousness, coated

trace this to torpid liver; delayed,

Poisonous matter clogged in the In.
testines. instead OF being cast out of
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue il causes conges-
tion and that dull, throbbing, sickening
headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and pol
sons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will have you
feeling clear, rosy and as at as a fiddle
