Auto-Intoxication
Causes Death
Do you know why you have sick
headache, diabetes, neuralgia, rheumatism
and liver or kidney troubles?
It's because you are being poisoned
by products of your own body. Your
organs of elimination are not working
properly. Wasto material tkat
should be thrown out is being retained
to poison and intoxicate your system.
That could not happen if the bowels
were kept open with Granger Liver
Regulator. This splendid preparatimi
is purely vegetable and non-a'.coholic.
