WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE-
Without Calomel
And You'll Jump out of Bed in the Morning Full of Vim.
The liver should pour put two pounds of liquid bite into your bowels daily If this bifu is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Wind bloats up you stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel mour, tires and weary and the woriti looks blue,
Laxatives are only makeshifts. A mere bowel movement doesn't get the cluse it-takea those good old Carter's Little Liver Pills to get those two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." Harmless, gentle. yet amazing in making bilo flow freely.
Ask for CARTER'S Little Liver Pills by name. Stubbornly refuse anything else.

WHAT STOMACH
SUFFERERS
CAN EAT
You can't lay up a sick stomach. Your body must be nourished even though solid food and most liquid foods cause pain and vom- iting.
The problem has always been to find a food that soothes the in- flamed stomach walls and pro- vides all the nourishment needed for recovery, Doctors and nurses agree that Horlicks is such a food. It places no strain upon. the di-] gestion, but provides all the body- building elements that the weak- enad system needs. Convalescence is shortened, new strength and en- ergy pour into the veins with every cupful of Horlicks.
