Good News Or Bad?
· Good news will scem even bet- ter, bad news nót: so bad, if you are able to face the world with a sinile. But it isn't 'casy to be cheerful if you are liverish, bill- 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 ho''t. They disperse any accumula n of waste mattër from the inte nal tract, regulate
the liver, aid Igestion, prevent billousness, Pify the breath, keep the skin free from blemishes and relieve pílés. Obtainable at all chemists, Pinkettes are laxative perfection and are equally good for men and women.
