Watch your tongue! If tongue is j coated in the morning and you have j a bad taste in your mouth, it usually means your system is filling with poisons from waste matter retained in the body. This state of self-pois-oning, or auto-intoxication, causes chronic constipation, sick headaches, sour stomach, and often high blood I pressure and hardening arteries, j You need to stimulate your liver so I it can remove the poisons from the. blood and clean the waste out of the colon. Pure ox gall is the best thing for the purpose. It is a natural liver stimulant, as any doctor will tell j you. You get the genuine, pure ox gall j i in dainty, tasteless form in Dioxol i tablets. Each tablet represents 10 j drops of the precious ox gall and costs less than 2c. Try a few for three or four days. The amount of old waste matter expelled from your body will astound you! Note the new feeling of health, strength and energy that is yours. You’ll feel like a new person. All good druggists sell Dioxol tablets.—Advertisement. J
