Trumbull of Jersey City, N. J., whose letter goes on to say, "I had heard about Carter’s Little Liver Pills for years but never knew they helped overcome poor appetite and sour stomach, until 1 read about another man in the same plight who took Carter’s with good results. 1 tried them and can honestly say that they freed me of nasty gas on stomach, so that 1 can now eat without getting bilious, and they improved my appetite fully 100%.
