WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE
Without mel-And You'll Jump 0aa
 of Bed Full of Vim and Vigor.

Your liver should pour out two pints of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely your food doesn' digest. Ii just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk.
 A mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause. It takes those famous Carter's Little Liver Pills to get these two pints of bile flowing freely and make you feel ''up and up" Harmless, gentle, yet amazing Tn making bile flow freely. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red pack age. Refuse anything else. Price 25e.

And one of the manifestations of
that new spirit is that there are
fewer Americans who view with

people-in addition to the profess

who always look en- the dark side
of life, complain that things are not
as they were one and who firmly
believe that everybody who dis.
