THE LIVER IS A GOOD FRIEND, BUT A BAD ENEMY.
The liver is a large and powertal organ, composed of a great multitude of blood vessels, nerves, absorbents, and bile schannels, held The together by a reddy-brown substanco. Ever's great work is to supply the bile, which helps to prepare our food for converting into rial, life-giving blood.
But when the liver becomes sluggish, there is not enough bile made to digest the food, so the Blond becomes starved--thin, pale, and without nourishment, and the food ferments, giving off bad gases
which causs flatulency, headache, and foul bresth. The boyola becorar clogged, and constipation buyina,

One of the frat signs of sluggish liver is feeling of despondency and weariness (due to tko impure blood stupifying the lumin and fail- ing to nourish the body). The complexion will be yellow, and the eyes heavy; there wil be wind in the stomach, variable appetite, palpita lion of the heart, and bad tasto in the mouth.
