Horse Sense
Sometimes you eat too much, sometimes you drink too much, and sometimes you do both. In any event, you feel like the very old scratch the next morning. Too much liquor overheats the blood. Too much food, and the liver goes on a strike. The first remedy which should suggest itself is a purgative which will act on the liver, and cleanse the system of all the indigestible junk with which it has been overtaxed. This is positively the foundation for permanent relief. The next thing is to cool the blood. Now, isn't it common horse sense? Think it over. The R--R-- is the only water which acts on the liver. It's base is sodium phosphate. The R--R-- is the only water which cools the blood, Overheated blood is what causes the pressure on the head. The R--R-- is the only pleasant-tasting aperient water of any strength on the market to-day. We have stumbled onto a good thing, and we've got the money to push it. You remember the man who at breakfast said: "Waiter, bring me about ten grains of oatmeal, and put stickers on it so that it will stay down; and say, waiter, please look as pleasant as possible, for I feel like h--l." |
