A I*nminivc IMcnnitre,
If you ever took DoWitt’s Little
Early Risers for biliousness or oontiti-
patiqn you anow what a purgative
is. These famous little pills cleanse
the liver and rid the system of all bile
without producing unpleasant effects.
They do nob gripe, sicken or weaken,
but give tone and strength to thfe tis-
sues and organs involved. W H
Howell, of Houston, Texas, writes:
“No better pill can be used than T ittle
Early Risers for constipation, siok
headache, etc. ” Solti by D II Warren
