GREEN OLD AGE

Assured by the Occasional Use of 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 It ought not to can growing weak and feeble. 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 feebleness, it is generally because of the failure to nssimilate the nutrition contained in food. To those in declining years who find that Nature respond's 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. They are a perfect Blood Purifier and a positive and permanent cure for Biliousness,
