Having closed his contract, and max

CRATER Immediately wired his ten ex-

These canvassers were able TO take

physicians know the value of having the
bowels thoroughly opened. People, when
they grow up, allow constipation to be-

Constipation il the failure of the bowels
to carry of the undigested food, which
collects in the alimentary canal and there
decays, generating poisonous dissase germs.
These germs find their way into the blood
by means Of which they are carried to
every tissue. The fever thu created af-

heart and nervous system, but IA fact any
organ Of the body i liable to break down
as result. The blood becomes thin and
watery. The sufferer loses in hesh and
