More than 10000 minnows. none of

1t will take three years for the fish

onStipatiOn

In constipation the Tablets act as mild
cathartic; the Pills are slightly stronger,
but both tablets and pills act upon the
mucous membranes Of the intestines,
therefore their action is absolutely sure
and also for this reason they never grippe
or cause the least discomfort. They are
equally good for children as we'll as adults,
because they are a tonic and do not
produce any unnatural condition OF the
bowels.

Stomach Trouble

The Tablets are the best to use in cases
of Stomach Trouble which take the form
Of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Sour Stomach,
etc. because they tone up the system and
stimulate the flow Of gastric juice, thus
very effectively aiding the digestive organs
TO perform their proper functions. Their
mildly csth2rtic action also relieves the
stomach of all refuse and undigested
matter,
