SLUGGISH LIVER

STIRRED BY DR MORSE’S INDIAN ROOT PILLS A torpid, sluggish liver leaves bile in the blood, which upsets the action of the whole system. The complexion assumes a yellowish hue and the appetite disappears. The digestion is upset, with coated tongue and headaches. The bowels are irregular. It is advisable to take steps to relieve this trouble before all the symptoms appear. Prompt and determined action is necessary to relieve the body of the poisons left in. the system by a sluggish liver. The liver must have assistance, and this is best rendered by Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills, which act on the liver and bowels, and thus help to restore the system to healthy action. 4
