Our fathers lived a life of acti- vity in the open air. If they ate heartily they had sufficient exer- cise to keep the• liver and bowels active and to thereby remove the poisonous waste from the body, • To -day we , get too little exercise and too little fresh air. The food we eat is more concentrated and artifi- cial. The result is '!much discomfort and the development of serious dis- ease from: constipation of.the bowels and torpid' o ' c dhtio rp n of n the liver. ' Kidney .disease, rheumatism, fumy; bago, backache ---all have their begin- Hing Id the inactivity of the liver and bowels. The great.:. secret t. of keeping . in_ . health is 'to look to the regularity of these filtering and eliminating organs, and i)r, Chase's Kidney, -Liver Pills is the most satisfactory medi- cine obtainable for . this purpose. If you• read the xe y rts• a in this; PIrn1g paper, from time to time, from • persons who have used this treat- anent with good results, you will find- • that Dr. 'Chase's Kidney -Liver Pillar are effective where orditfary medi- eines fail. This success is due to their combined action on the ' liver,' kidneys .and bowels. One pill a dose at bedtime as often as is, necessary to. keep the bowels in healthful" action,. 'will also ensure the regularity oLthe liver and kidneys' and thereby keep Y the bloc pure '• dand the- system free from the accumulating poisons which cause disease and suffering.
