GREEN OLD AGE
Assured by the Occasional Use of e. domukt Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills:
...
To reach "a green old age and enjoy good health can only be obtained by the care of the system. It is from the little irregularities of the system that the common ailments arise, and nature gives many indications of the approach of these complaints which, if treated at once, may be warded off. Growing old ought not to menn growing weak and feeble. It does not mean weakness or feebleness for those who eat with a good appetite and sound digestion. It is of the utmost importance that old people should retain the power to digest and assimilate food, which is the sole source of physical strength. When age brings fechess, it is generally because of the failure to assimilate the nutrition contained in food. To those in declining years who find that Nature responds less readily to the demands made upon her, and, who need a mild. yet searching remedy to keep their system in proper working order, there is nothing like Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.

There are a few people alive-fow enough in all conscience who are bliss fully ignorant that they possess a liver. They never have to think of it, because it never troubles them, and a Irver that is in good working order never makes its presence felt But the vast majority of us are rudely reminded, at one time or another, that the liver can be particularly troublesome. It may be that a change of weather, or the taking of unsuitable food is resented by the liver, and what then? torturing bouts of biliousness, irrit ability, blurred vision, specks before the eyes, bad complexion, and chronic weari. neas.
