Your liv should pour out two pints of Jiquid bile into your bowels daily. 1{ this bile isnot flowing freely, your food doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your Whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. A mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause. It takes those famous Carter’'s Little Liver Pills to get these two pints of bile flowing freely and make you feel “up and up”, Harmless, gentle, yet amazing in making bile flow freely. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red packe age. Refuse anything else.
