For Liver and Bowels
DIR. Carter X. & b. Tea
A Mild, Gentle Vegetable Laxative
and Healthful Drink.

You can keep the whole family in
good health if you will brew a cup OF
vegetable tea every other night and
have them drink it just before going
to bed.
For very little money you can get q
package of DIR. Carter's X. & b. Tea,
and after you and the dear ones have
used it for a week you'll say it's the
finest gentlest and most complete
tonic laxative you, ever ran across.
For stomach liver, and bowels and
to purify the blood, nothing is more
reliable. Give it to the little ones
when they get feverish and can eat.
They like it and it does them lots OF
good.
