And BaeIaehe Stopped After Short Treatment with FRUIT .TTVES~

Moretown, Vermont, March 27th 1918. ''I am warranted in having the strongest faith in 'Fruit-a-tives' after receiving such wonderful benefits from them. Foryears, I was sufferer with Kidney and Liver Complaints. My back ached; my liver was sluggish and my whole system seemed out of order.
 'Fruit-a-tves' was the only remedy to help me. They strengthened the kidneys, made my bowels move regularly and freed me of all the distress caused from the kidney trouble, constipation and indigestion. A few weeks treatment with 'Fruit-a-tives' made me feel as if I had a new lease on life, and I am glad to make known the great value of these Fruit Liver Tablets'.
