I'm ECAY is not digestion, you
! ! know, even when it takes
III N place in the stomach.
Food deczyed in the body
after being eaten is as dangerous to
health as food decaycd before being eaten.
Food nourishos or poisons. just accord
ing to how long it remains in the Bowels
undigested.
Cascarets are the simplest and surest
safeguard against Delayed Digestion yet
discovered.
Sold in a thin Enamel Box, half as
thick as your watch. which fits into the
vest pocket or lady's purse as if it grew
there.
In this round-edged Enamel Box are
found six small Candy Tablets.
One of these tOothsome tablets works
wonders for digestion.
Soon as placed in the mouth it starts
the Saliva flowing, which at once gets to
work dissolving it.
The Saliva becomes blended with the
Candy Cascaret tablet, and from the
moment they start going down your
throat together they start working to-
gether.
Now, what do they work ats Bowel
work. OF course-DigeSton.
The Washington times., 1906-04-08

This Nutrirnent IS then carried into the
Blood, and spread over the Body as
Brain, Bone and Brswn-
But. when the Bowel-Muscl.s are weak.
the Food moves too slowly to stirnuIats
the little Gastric Mouths and there is no
flow. or too little flow of Digestive Juice,
TO change the food into nourishment.
Then. the food decays in the Bowels.
and in the thirty feet of Intes;ines.
When this Decay begins the little sue
tion pumps draw Poison from the decsyed
Food. into the blood. instead of the Nutri-
ton it should have drawn.
Now, Cascarcts contain the only com
bination of drugs that Stimulates these
Muscles of the Bowels and lntcstincS Just
as a Cold Bath. or open-sir Exercise,
stimulates Lazy Man.
Casczrets therefore act like Exercise.
They produce the same sort C Natural
result that Six Nile walk in the csuntry
would produce, Without any injurious
Chemical effect.
The Vest Pocket Cascaret Box is sod

Be sure you gel the genuine, made only
by the Sterling Remedy Company. and

Most of the Digestion occurs in the
thirty feet of intestincs that connect with
the Stomach.
They are lined with a set of little
mouths. that squeeze Digestive Juices
into the Food ea:sn.
The Digestive Juices thus mix with
the food, just as Saliva mixes with Cas-
esret tablets, dissolving and changing
that food into nourishncnt. as ii passes
along the channel.
The Washington times., 1906-04-08

The lntestines are also lined with nil
lions of little suction pumps. that draw
the Nutriment from Food, as it passes
them in going through.
