GOOD HEALTH WITHOUT DRUGS.

2.—THE LARGEST ORGAN IN THE BODY. It is the liver. This organ has multifarious duties to perform 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 abuse of alcohol, and its functions are hindered and impaired by the tannic acid, the outcome of tea drinking. Errors in diet lead to a' diminished secretion of bile. It becomes, torpid and sluggish, and the defects react on the blood current —deleterious products are carried into the circulation —the skin becomes muddy land yellow, the tongue 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 retain the liver in good working order, an.d that is attention to diet and exercise. Happy is the man or woman who does not know they have a liver! Unless this mighty organ duly performs its principal ■ function of secreting bile, a whole army of troubles arise.

It cannot be done with medicine. It can, however, be done with a perfect food beverage, such as Dr Tibbies’. ViCbcoa, which possesses exceptional vitalising properties. It will, save your digestion part of its work, and is far more nourishing and sustenant than tea or the ordinary cocoa, whilst it possesses a tonic and recuperative force possessed by neither. • .

Dr Tibbies’ Yi-Cocoa is pleasant and nalatable, 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-Cocoa 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 nroprietors are prepared to send any reader who names the “Lyttelton Times” (a postcard wi’ll do) a dainty sample tin of Dr Tibbies’ Vi-Cocoa free and post paid. Address: Dr Tibbies’ Vi-Cocoa Limited, 269, George Street, Sydney.
