-HAEITuAL constipation is not
only one Of the most unpleasant,
but at Tie same time one Of the
most ininrious conditions of the
human system, and is hnt a forernn-
urr of disease, unless removed.
This is usually accomplished by the
use of pnrgatives, which for the time
afford relief, hut after their inmedi-
ate effects have passed they leave
the system in ii worse state than be-
fore. To effect Il cure it is necessa-
nv that the remedy used should be
one that not only hy its scathartic
effect relieves the Bowels, but at the
same time acts as a tonic, so as to re-
store the organs to a sound, healthy
condition. This PH1cKLY ASH
BITTERs will do. 1t removes the
cause and restores health.
