Poor Digestion? 1n [. :.
 headachy? 00 Sour or Upset? 0n Tired-ListIess? %

Do you feel headaehy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails. your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly - often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 10t and 25f.
