GOOD HEALTH WITHOUT DRUGS.

2.—THE LARGEST ORGAN IN THE

ISODX

It is the liver. This organ has multifarious dvities to pei-form in the internal economy of the digestive system. After the stomach it is the most abused of all the digestive organs. It is inflamed and hardened by the use of alcohol, and its functions are hindered and impaired by the tannic acid, the outcome of tea drinking1. Errors in diet lead to a diminished secretion of bile. It becomes torpid and sluggish and the defects react on the bloodcurrent —deleterious products are carried into the circulation —the skin becomes muddy and yellow, the fongue furred. Life becomes a burden and the victim says, 'Life is not worth living.' He flies to drugs, blue pill, and other quack nostrums, and finds a temporary relief, and a rebound to a state worse than before; destroys his digestion by nauseous medicines and liver pills and wonders why he continues dull, , languid, cranky, ; and out of sorts. He never pauses to consider the why and the wherefore, but continues to either • doctor himself, or is doctored by others into a confirmed melancholy invalid, who invariably shuffles off the mortal coil of a miserable life through making his stomach a receptacle for all the so-called liver cures in the pharmacopoeia. There is only one method to maintain the liver in good working order, and that is attention to Diet and Exercise. Happy is the man or woman who does not know the3 r have a liver! Unless this mig-hty organ duly performs its principal function of secreting bile, a whole army of troubles arise. It cannot be done with medicine. It can, howeyer, be done with a perfect food beverage, such as Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, which possesses excep- . tional vitalising properties. It will save'your digestion part of its work, and is far more nourishing and sustenant than tpa or the ordinary cocoa, whilst it possesses a tonic and recuperative force possessed by neither. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Coeoa is pleasant and palatable, and it imparts nourishment and builds up strength. As a Food-beverage it is invaluable. ' The unique vitalising,, and restorative powers of. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Coeoa are being recognised to an, extent hitherto unknown in the history of any preparation. Merit, and merit alone, is what is claimed for Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, and the proprietors are prepared to send any reader who names the 'Auckland Star' (a postcard will do) a dainty sample tin of Dr. ; Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa free and post paid. Address: Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa Limited, 269, George-street, Sydney..
