DIZZIN .LIVER, CDHSTIPATIDN Folks interested in autos coming In on every tram. ess, Torpid t Sick headaches! Always trace them to lazy liver, delayed, fermenting food In the bowels or a sick stomach. Poisonous matter, instead of being thrown out, is reabsorbed Into the blood. When this poison reaches th delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, awful throbbing, sickening headache. x ' Cascarets remove the cause by stimulating the liver, making the pois on move on and out and. purifying the blood. The effect Is almost instan taneous. Ladies whose sensitive organisms are especially prone to sick head ache, need not suffer, for they can be quickly cured by Cascarets. One taken tonight will straighten you out by morning a 10-cent box means a clear bead and perfect health for months. Don't forget the children their little msiaes need a good, genue, cieansmg, too. Children gladly take Cascarets, because they taste good and never gripe or sicken.
