A State of Health That Needs Prompt
Treatment to Ward Off
Serious Disease.
Do you notice a large reduction in
your vital energy? Are you losing hold
on your place in the social world? Is
your strength gone, constitution weak,
appetite poor, digestion deranged, bow
els costive, with uneasiness and symp
toms of derangement in the region of
the kidneys? Such a condition is the
preliminary to Bright’s Disease or soma
other serious kidney trouble. If this
describes the state of your body, we urge
upon you prompt action before your
health is entirely beyond recovery.
Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy you
need; it has a four-fold restorative effect.
It stimulates the torpid liver, restores
health in the stomach, strengthens and
cures the kidneys, and through its
peculiar yet agreeable laxative char
acter it clinches the good work by thor
oughly cleansing the bowels. It is a
certain remedy for kidney and liver
diseases.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
'arge figure 3 in red on the front label.
