After Eating Too Much. Tones
Liver, Regulates Bowels. ACTS
Pleasantly. Guaranteed.

Many people eat too much every
day and most eat much too much
some DAYS. That Is why Americans
suffer more than any people in the
world from indigestion, blAousness
and constipation.
With a little thoughtfulness and
care, however. a great amount Of
this distress could be avoided and
you'll never realize how tfae this IS
until you become one of the several
million people of this country who
keep a box OF Natures Remedy CHR
Tablets) constantly on hand and use
1t whenever indigestion. blliousness or
constipation threatens.
Unlike laxative purges, cathartics.
such as oil, calomel, etc, which mere
ly force bowel action, Natures Remedy
exerts a beneficial influence upon the
entire digestive and eliminative sys-
tem-the stomach, liver, bowels and
even the kidneys. Its purpose Is to
promote vigorous and harmonious &C
ton OF all the organs that handle tho
food and body waste.
That is why the results which fol-
low the use Of Natures Remedy are
always a delightful surprise to those
who first try 1t. The action while
prompt and thorough. Is as mild and
gentle and pleasant as Nature her
self. and the thorough cleansing the
body receives brings n feeling Of
real relief and benefit such as no
laxative pill or cathartic ever pro-
duced for anyone.
Get CSC box of Natures Remedy

risk in doing SO, for 1t must give you
liver or bowel medicine you ever used
or money back instantly. 1t is sold,
guaranteed and recommended by your
