If you we're able to live just right all the time there would be little need for medicine, less need for doctors. But some little thing is constantly coming along to put us out of balance—exposure, change of diet or drinking water, irregular meals are little things that will at times upset the best of us. Nothing particular the matter, but we don't feel good. At such times the wise among us will take a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets with certain | knowledge that they will put us right, right away. Sold everywhere. 1
