Cancer is one of the natural results of a neglected liver. A neglected liver causes chronic stipation, jaundice, gall-stone and very often caucer.

The inactivity of the liver causes the sallow or muddy like complexion. Liver splotches which are so annoying and embarrassing are caused by the bilious matter which has accumulated within the system. GLANDO will clear up the complexion because it removes the cause, throws off the poisonous accumulations and restores the natural activities of the glands. Liver trouble is easily controlled if taken in its early stages. A reliable remedy for liver disorders is a treatment known as GLANDO.

GLANDO is a gland tonic, which acts upon the whole glandular system of which the liver is the largest and most important gland. GLANDO is put up in three separate treatments. All three treatments for 50 cents.
