You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, tired and weary and the world tooka blue.
Laxatives are only makeshifts. A mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause. It takes those good old Carter's Little Liver Pills to get those two pounda of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." Harmless, gentle, yet amazing in making bite flow freely.
