Too Much Holiday Fun and Folly
Too much of a good thingl That's what we are
all liable to take during a holiday season. Healthy,
jolly people will do it and make themselves sick.
"In time of peace prepare for war," and have about
the house a pleasant,, perfect, palatable, positive
medicine for sour stomach, sick headache, colic,
winds, belching, biliousness, furred tongue, lazy
liver, constipation, bad breath, bad tastef all liable
to result from holiday over-indulgence, Cascareis
Candy Cathartic is what you want; a tablet after a
big rneal will prevent sickness, or a tablet at night
before going to bed, after a good time, will fix you
?all right for morning, and let you get up clear as a
bell, ready for business or pleasure.
