PEOPLE
OVER 40

People over 40 have to be careful
of their blood pressure. It's at this
age, due to over abnormal living ha-
bits, that our blood pressure begins
to slip up on US. And high blood
pressure shortens life-may cut it
off suddenly. Modern living puts too
great a pressure upon the vital or
gans, especially the liver. The liver
becoming weak and sluggish failsto
cleanse the blood of the poisons
formed in food waste. The whole
system then becomes toxic, with
stomach, kidneys, heart and blood
vessels affected. The liver occasion
ally needs little help, and there's
nothing better for this, as physicians
agree, than OK gall. Ok gall is re-
markable natural stimulant for the
human liver. promoting its normal
active functioning so essential to
real health. Dioxol tablets are gen.
uine OK gall in dainty and tasteless
form, each tablet representing 10
drops of pure OK gall. To be sureof
getting the genuine OK gall, be sure
of getting Dioxol. They cost less
than &c each at good druggists, and a
few bringa delightful change.
