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.
