But you may not know that Nature
must produce each day about two pinta
of the vital digestive juice—liver bile-
to help digest your food.
If Nature fails—food doesn't digest
properly—you may get irregular. And the
amount of this vital digestive juice may
be still further reduced. Thus, digestive
upset and sluggishness can follow each
other in a vicious circle that keeps you
feeling, rotten. Therefore, take Carter’s
Little Liver Pills because they atari bile

utes. When bile flow increases— you may
help your digestion. You’re on your way to
feeling grand all over again. Remember— |
you can’t get these same results from laxa-
