This Trouble is More Serious Than
Generally Supposed-How to
Cure 1t So That 1t Will
STAY Cured.

Stop a moment and think. How long
could you live if your bowels ceased to
act? After "a hours you would have
q headache-poisOn working on the
nerves.
In less than 4S hours your breath
would become bad-your skin sallow
and you would be very nervous.
Poison in the stomach and liver.
In four days you would look bad
and feel bad all over. Skin eruptions
would begin. Blood surcharged with
poison.
A week would find you very i'll and
your friends would send wreaths to
the house a few days later.
Iron-Ox Tablets cure constipation
so that it need never return.
They do it by assisting digestion,
causing a plentiful secretion and flow
of digestive fluids, stimulating the tor
pid liver and sluggish kidneys, and
thus securing bowel health.
Anything which shocks the system
into activity is dangerous. Do not
expect immediate perceDtible effects
from Iron-Ox Tablets. They produce
natural. regular building up of all
the functions. This takes little time
but success is absolutely certain.
Remember, Iron-Ox Tablets are not
purgative or cathartic in their effect;
they are tonic-laxative; they cure by
building up the entire system. Purga-
tives and cathartics give only tempo
rary relief by violent and injurious
action-they do far more harm thar
good.
