Habitual constipation is not only one of the most unpleasant, but at the same time one of the most fn- furious conditions of the human system, and is but a foIermner or disease, unless removed. This is usually accomplished by the use of purgatives, which for the time afford relief, but after their imme- diate effects have passed they leave the system in worse state than before. To effect cure 1t is necessary that the remedy used should be one that is not only be it's cathartic effect relieves the Bowels, but at the same time acts as a tonic, to restore the organs to a sound, healthy condition. This PRfCKLY ASH BITTERs will do. 1t removes the cause and restores health.
