Keep Looking Young

Nobody wants to grow old looking
any faster than they can help; some
look old at forty, while others don't
begin to show their age at seventy.
Everybody knows that to keep
young looking you have first got to be
blessed with good health, and second to
do as little worrying as possible. Most
of the ills that the flesh is heir to are
caused by disordered stomach, liver
or kidneys. These can be regulated
and kept in good condition by taking
SEVEN BARKS, natures great remedy
of roots and herbs.
Digestive troubles also spoil beauty,
rob yon Of sleep, make dark rings
around the eyes and ruins the com
plexion. Let SEVEN 'BARKS digest
your food and tone up your stomach,
then you may eat what you like;
bright eyes will soon return, and you
will feel fit for your daily duties.
Science says that old age begins with
weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
II you keep these organs cleansed and
in proper working order, old age can
be deferred and life prolonged beyond
The average age. No better remedy
can be found than SEVEN BARlSS to
keep the stomach, liver and kidneys in
good order, thus assuring you good
health
