How Better Than Pills?

The question has been asked: In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic
and liver pills? Our answer is,
they are easier and more pleasant to
take and their effect is so gentle
that one hardly realizes that it is
produced by a medicine. Then, they
not only move the bowels but inn
prove the appetite .and strengthen
the digestion.
