FOR YOUR LIVER!
You can’t be completely well
if your liver isn’t well.
Yqur liver is the largest prgari in your body
and most important to your health, It pours out
bile to digest food, gets rid of waste, supplies
new energy, allows proper nourishment to
reach your blood. When your liver gets out of
prder food decomposes in your intestines. You
become constipated, stomach and kidneys
can’t work properly. You feel “rotten”—
headachy, backachy, dizzy, dragged out all
the time.
Thousands have won prompt relief with
“Fruit-a-tives.” So can you NOW, Try
