FOR SLUGGISH, CONGESTED LIVER AND BILIOUSNESS. Trained Nurse advises use' of Alkaline Saltrates, and .. tolls why ordinary Balines fail. By ALICE LANDLES, Certified Nurse. /CONTRARY to common belief, such \J drastic purgatives as Epsom, Rochelle, or other "morning salts" and powders as generaly used have practically §110 effect upon the liver. They produce a 6trong aperient action by . passing straight through to the lower bowel almost immediately and flushing out tho important intestinal juices, thus storing up future trouble, as anyone knows who has tried them. When the saline . , water is not absorbed or assimilated by the stomach or intestines at all, it of course cannot reach tho liver, and this accounts for so many of my patients saying ordinary salts proved worthless for their liver disorders. My invariable advico to chronic constipation sufferers is to drink two or three times during the day (not before breakfast) a tumbler of water in which has been dissolved a teaspoonful of Alkia Saltrates. Any chemist can suply a few ounces of this at small cost, or easily get it for you, and it will clear out a clogged liver or regulate the bilo flow quickly, this being on account of the rapidity with which it is absorbed. This water is pleasant to drink and has no salty taste. I have never noticed any unpleasant aftereffects, and _ results have alwaya proyod most beneficial.
