Mr.. Dupen keeps his job. And
the political debt of Mr.. Gaines

LOOK OUT FOR
SELF POISONING

Neglect of the liver results in self
Xoisoning! Not SO quick, perhaps,
but just SO surely as If you drank
poison out of a bottle. If your liver
is not doing its work of helping di-
gestion, eliminating waste from the
bowels and purifying the blood. you
will always be troubled with sick
headaches. nausea. b~iliousness. bad
breath, gas, sour stomach. or. o n
stipation.
Cleanse and tone your liver! Put
your system in condition so you feel
your very best againi Try just a
spoonful of DR.. H. S. Thacher's ex-
cellent Liver and Blood Syrup after
the next few meal and notice the
quick improvement in the way you
eat, sleep, look and feel-the return
of strength, vigor and energy. You
will be completely satisfied; other
wise there will be no cost.
