THE EVILS OF
 CONSTIPATION
Everyone Knows When He is Constis pated and Everyone Should Kno. : the Risk He is Running When He Fails to Promptly
 Correct t.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise t. Which He or She May be Exposed ,
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove constis pationi the wrong way is 10 drench the bowels with a powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that iniures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in a more chronic form. The right way is to use a natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves healthful influence behind it. Priekly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, aud combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma- nently cure the habit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
 large figure in red on the front label. Sold Everywhere, Price sf.od,
