WHY MANY PEOPLE SUFFER
FROM CONSTIPATION.
A Sure and Safe Relief.

Constipation is most often caused by
torpid liver or failure of the stomach
and bowels to perform their proper
functions The condition is commonly
due at first to Irregular habits of liv-
ing and improper food and if properly
treated can be readily relieved. 1t is,
however. too often aggravated and
made chronic by the use, as medicine,
of powerful and expensive drugs, which
purge and perhaps give temporary re-
lief, but are SO drastic in effect as to
damage the tender lining of the stom-
ach and bowels, leaving condition
worse than at first This can, however,
be avoided. and the bowels gently and
thoroughly opened by the use of ma
lures own remedy-the famous Natur-
al Mineral Laxative Water-HUNYADI
has been relieving suf-
fering mankind all over the world for
nearly half century. One dose, Y
tumblerful. drunk on arising in the
morning, (slightly warmed for best re-
sults) will, within an hour. bring a de-
lightful and refreshing relief. A whole
bottle costs but n trifle, and it is best
TO keep one always on hand. Every
druggist keeps it.
