Biliousness, Dvspepsia, Indigestion, Liver Complaints, Tired Feeling, Had laste in the AfSuth, Bad Complexion, Nervousness and all lasts of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. " Blood! ae Liver Pills" act gently, yet thoroughly upon the bowels, liver, stomach and digestive organs. The pills, in old aad chronio?a.ek oi constipation and indigestion, act at once, without griping, nor do they leave any unpleasant after-eu'eus, nor form a constant habit el pursis*. produced by other cathartic remedies. " Bloodies Liver Pub " restore the deranged and torpid liver to Its normal condition and healthful action. Remove and pre? vent constipation by securing a natural and regu? lar operation of the bowels, and relieve those un? pleasant symptoms which attend a diseased or morbid condition of the liver, stomach and bowels. To assist in attaining this end, the following sug? gestions art offered. REMARKS. Everyone who uses pills for their action on the lifer, should know that large doses rarely prove as satisfactory as small ones. Large doses simply purge and pass out of the sys? tem, usually leaviag the bowels constipated, and seldom removing if* ranee of the trouble, or im? prove the general health. On the other band, assail doses develop the alterative effect of Um medicine, do sot irritate or constipate the bowels, but gentry stimulate Um liver and prevent the sasssftdSS of bile by directing its now into the proper Channels. Therefore it Is advisable to com seance by taking not over one or two pills at bed tass ass ktorasae dote as necessary. Portland, Ma, Osnrrs: ?I And your 4< Blondine Liver Pills" the most effective pill I ever used. They cause so griping or coast!pative after effect es most liver pills do.
