    1. Stubbornly refuse anything else. Barricade yourself in the pharmacy if you must. Call the local TV station and tell them your demands, including that you want Mr. Carter himself to *personally* deliver a case of Little Liver Pills to the door.

      Ugh, I wish I was that happy girl in the advertisement! Look at her, she’s glowing with satisfaction from digesting her food properly! I bet she has gallons of bile pouring out every day. Oh, why can’t I be her?

      B-b-but the bile! What about the bile!?! Doesn’t anyone in this godforsaken place care anymore about the bile?

    4. The amount of your liver should produce in a day is correct, so everything else they say can be trusted. /s

    5. Apparently in 1951 the FTC made the take Liver out of the name because it was deceptive. It in fact did NOTHING for the liver. But the original ingredient podophyllum resin was a powerful laxative but ended up being toxic.
