GOOD FOR EVERYBODY
Almost everybody takes some laxatlw
medicine to cleanse the system and keep tht
blood pure. Those who take SIMMONS
Liver Regulator (liquid or powder)
get all the benefits of a mild and plensanf
laxative and tonic that purifies the blood
and strengthens the whole system. And
more than this: SIMMONS LIVER REGU
LATOR regulates the Liver, keeps it activa
and healthy, and when the Liver is in
cood condition you find yourself free from
Malaria, Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick
Headache and Constipation, and rid of
that worn out and debilitated feeling-.
These are all caused bv a sluzcish Liver.
Good digestion and freedom from stomach
troubles will only be had when the liver
Is properly at work- If troubled with any
of these complaints, try SIMMONS LIVER
REGULATOR. The King of Liver Medi
cines, and Better than Pills.
