Turkey Dinner And Supper Wednesday At Tea Room Blood is Poisoned By a Torpid Liver Deadly toxins cause diseases of I heart, kidneys and create premature old ago Alt the blood in our bodies passes through the liver every 15 minutes. The liver is the blood’s purifier. Our blood is constantly poisoned by body toxins formed in food waste, and when the liver becomes weak, or torpid, our systems are at once tainted by impure blood. These are the poisons that, if not destroyed by the liver, cause diseases of the heart, kidneys, blood vessels and cre ate premature old age. Nature gives quick warning of a torpid liver. You have sudden sick headaches, dizzy spells; your stom ach is acid from sour bile, your skin turns sallow, blotchy. Doctors know the liver cannot be regulated by drugs, but a safe Na ture substance has been discovered which will act directly on the liver. The discovery is purified ox gall. Get from your druggist a package of Dioxol. Each tablet contains ten drops of purified ox gall. In 24 hours the poison toxins will be re moved. Your liver will be regulated. Blood purification will begin. Sallow skin will clear. You will feel so much better you will know you have found the cause of your ill health. | These genuine ox gall tablets are prepared only under the name v “Dioxol.” If any tablet is offered Xyou under another name, refuse it. | ® thfi When the Cub\ Isn’t Covering J Assignments —By W.
