Dyskinesia or habitual constipation
wrecks more health every day than
any other single thing. 1t saps
strength and vitality, causes serious
diseases of the stomach, kidneys
and heart, brings on high blood
pressure and makes you old years
before your time.
The insidious condition of Dys-
kinesia is the result of our abnor-
NAL habits of living which place too
great a strain upon the vital or
gans, especially the liver. The liver
becoming weak or sluggish fails to
supply the bowels enough bile. The
bowels tie up" and the poisonous
waste retained affects the whole
system including the vital organs.
The liver occasionally needs lit
tie help, and there's nothing better
for this, as medical men now know,
than a little OK gall. Ok gall is a
remarkable natural stimulant for
the human liver, promoting its nor
NAL active functioning, so essential
to internal cleanliness and health.
Dioxol tablets are genuine OK gall
in dainty and tasteless form, each
tablet representing 10 drops of pure
OK gall To be sure of getting the
genuine OK gall, be sure of getting
Dioxol. They cost less than &c each
at good druggists, and a few soon
