Good News Or Bad?
Good news will seem even Bet- ter, bad news not so bad, if you are able to face the world with a sinfle. But it isn't easy to be cheerful if you are liverish, bili- ous and generally out-of-sorts.
At such times, to restore heal- thy, happy well-being, a dose of Pinkettes is usually all that is re- ¡quired: These dainty laxative pills act in a normal way and do not form habit. They disperse any accumulation of waste matter from the intestinal tract, regulate the liver, aid digestion, biliousness, purify the breath. keep the skin free from blemishes and relieve piles. Obtainable al all chemists, Pinkettes are laxative perfection and are equally good for men and women.
