Beauty
, Comes from stimulating j
Glands
The new way to beauty, health and i
vim is through stimulating glands, j
Let us show you at our cost how i
much it means to you. i
The largest gland is the liver. I< j
is the most important gland. W« i
thought for generations that drugs 1
made it active. Now we know they j
don’t.
A torpid liver wrecks both health j
and beauty. It means lack of bile j
Then germs breed and form toxins i
in the intestines, and those poisons j
are absorbed by the blood. Some j
. results are these. I
Indigestion Heart and {
Constipation Kidney Troubles (
Impure Blood Bad Complexions I
High Blood Pressure Lack of Youth {
The cathartics you take do not j
assert the liver cells. The ill results
continue. But we have found a gland
secretion which does stimulate the '
liver. It is ox-gall. Physicians the
world over now prescribe it. And tc
millions it is bringing new beauty,
new health and new vim.
Ox-gall is now embodied in a tab
• let. The name is Dioxol. Each tab
let contains 10 drops of purified ox
gall. All druggists supply them.
We ask you to learn what Dioxo)
does. The results start in 24 hours
In a day or two these tablets may
■ bring you a new conception of life.
Let us send you enough to try.

for your own sake. rClip coupon now.
