An yon taking Simmons Liver Reg

want, and nothing but that. It is the

pinned their fhith and were never dis
appointed. But another good recom
mendation for it is, that it is better
than Pills, never gripes, never weak

natural way, just like nature itself, that
relief comes quick and sure, and one
feels new all over. It never fldls.
Everybody needs take a liver remedy,
