DO you feel headachy and upset due 10
poorly digcsted food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digcsted properly.
Each day. Nature must produce about
two pints Of vital digestive juice TO
help digest your food. IL Nature fails,
your food may remain undigested-
leaving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the flow
~ this digestive juice. Carter's Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly
often in as little as 80 minutes. And.
you're on the road 10 feeling better.
Don't depend on artificial aids TO
