Poisoning the System.
It is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed of impurities.
Constipation keeps these poisons
in the system, causing headache,
dullness and melancholia at first,
then unsightly eruptions and final-
ly serious illness unless a remedy
is applied. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers prevent this trouble by
stimulating the liver and promote
easy, healthy action of the bowels.
These little pills do not act vio-
lently but bv strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform
their own werk. Never gripe or
distress. Sold by City Drug Store.
