There is no better rule for good health
than that the bowels should move every
day ut the same hour If possible. Rceu-
tarity can be acquired by making habit
Of this. Foolish people neglect this and
when chronic CONSTIPATION effects them
they, take pills every few days 20 force the
bowels to perform their natural function,
As years DO on they require more and
more pills. This should be stopped.
Cooper's New Discovery build up
the stomach and cause the bowels to act
naturally. While taking the medicine get
the habit Of regularity, then gradually
stop taking the medicine.
Here is sample of letters from those
who have tried it:

constipation. had frequent headaches
