The human body is a wonderful machine, provided with
muscular, nervous and mental energy far in excess of normal
needs. In health, the organs and tissues can do double their
usual amount of work without strain or friction, because they
have stored energy to meet the extra demand.
When you feel "all tuckered out," these factors of safety are
nearly exhausted snd you need to resort to
BEEOM m
PUS
to renew the supply of energy, wherever it may be called for.
Indigestion, bilious attacks, constipation, loss of sleep, ner
vousness, dizzy spells, are warnings that the factor of safety in
the stomach, liver, bowels or brain, is low, or nearing the danger
point and needs to be replenished, '
Beecham's Pills increase the supply of blood, strengthen
the stomach, operate the bowels, feed the nerve cells, build
tissue, aud create a reserve supply of energy, which is the only
natural and effective way to ,
