SIMMONS V
AREGUIATOR,
Reader, did you ever take Simmons
Liver Regulator, the "King of
Liver Medicines ? " Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
t-crpid liver; Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole sys
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is better, than Pills. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.
