Eating the wrong things, and too much

toe much to dO--gives them work that
they cannot be expected to do. Such
things prevent the free and regular ac-

sleep, lassitude, nervousness, and plant
the seeds of disease in all parts Of the

They go about their business without
making any fuss. They are very gentle
in their action and cause no gripping, or
other unpleasantness.
They do not take the place of Nature
they merely help her. No one ever

That's why he would rather sell them.
That's why you had better not take them.
