Cure Biliousness

Nearly everyone

has occasional

bilious attacks; many are bilious nearly all the` time; none need suffer from biliousness if they will use Iron-Ox Tablets.

Bilious attacks are causedby a sluggish, inactive liver,

which does not throw 05 the poisons which nature intends

it to remove.

This unhealthy condition of the liver is generally de-

noted by failing appetite, sallow, dirty complexion, blood- shot eyes, coated tongue, offensive breath, weak back and indigestion-the result of poisons accumulating in the sys-

tem

ly constipated

.Generally the kidneys are aifectedfand the bowels bad-

Iron-Ox Tablets cure biliousuess by stimulating the

liver to proper action; and by eliminating the deadly poisons from the system. They tone and strengthen the weakened organs and give them the power to do their duty properly, and as Nature intended they should.
