Jacobs’ Liver Salt
Better Than All Other Liver Tonics
For Constipation. Biliousness, Sick Headache. Nausea. Sour
Stomach, Rheumatism, Gout and other liver ailments.
Don't take nasty medicine at night, to get up with a bad taste
and put in a disagreeable morning of griping action. Take
J A CO BS’ LIVER SALT Before Breakfast
Bubbles pleasantly, cuts acid or phlegm and gives you an
agreeable, stimulating taste.
Acts within an hour, mildly, without pain or gripe.
More Than a Laxative Liver Tonic
It dissolves the uric acid that has accumulated from stomach
sourness and takes it out of the blood: and with pure blood
flowing freely and without acid pressure, the liver can keep
active and normal.
Other liver tonics do not remove from the system this poison
ous uric acid deposit, and consequently the liver becomes slug
gish again in a very short time.
