fs Simmons liver Regulator don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish,
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SlAtMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. It also
regulates the Liver keeps it properly at
vork, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole bodv invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try a Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it,

The new time card of the Northern

tween Portland and St. Paul ten hours.
This is now the shortest and quickest
route to the East. - Two through trains
daily out of Portland. The only line

good connections at St. Paul and Chicago
makes this the most desirable route.
