II you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow g lot ot salts, mineral water, oil. laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it They only move the bowels and mere movement doesn't get as the cause. The reason for your down-and-out leeiing is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest It just decays in the bowels Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath IS foul, skin often breaks out in biemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out Your whole system Is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when 1t comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills- Ask for Carters Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carters Little Liver Pills on the red label Resent substitute. e 1881 c. N. Co.
