CAN'T FEEL WELL

Unless 2 pints of bile juice flow from our liver into our bowels every day, our movements get hard and constipated and our food decays un-

naturally in our 28 feet of bowels. This decay sends poison all over our body every six minutes. It makes us gloomy, grouchy and no good for anything. Our friends smell this decay coming out of our mouth and call it bad breath. Laxa- tives and mouth washes only help a little. Tako Carter's Little Liver Pills. They get those 2 pinta of bile flowing freely and then you feel on the "up and up." Ask for Carter's Little Liver Fills by name and get what you ask for.
