resistance when they could take the
easy path of health and happiness.
Many a slightly disordered liver Is .the
cause of lack of energy and financial
loss.
In olden times calomel used to shock
many a liver into its natural catlvities
and improve the health. But there
were many sad cases of salivation and
even death from its use.
Modern day medical science has
eliminated calomel by finding a better
remedy in the form of GRIGSBY'S
IV-VER-LAX, which does all the work
of calomel without its disagreeable
effects or dangers.
It is purely vegetable and sold under
