Owing to modern methods of living

without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who ncglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apopleXy or congestion Of any organ,
the tendency is at this perio d
likely to become active and with
hostof nervous irritations make life
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work
Such warning symptoms as sense
of sutfocation, hot flashes. headaches,
backacl.es, mclancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation Of the heart.

ness are promptly needed by intel

the period of life when this great
change may be expected

How to Fool a Lazy Liver
with Artificial Exercise

TIA VERY serious Sickness has small
|A beginning.
And, in nine cases out of ten,
LIZ that beginning is made in the
Bowels.
Constipation is the beginning Of most dis
eases. II paves the way for all others.
Lack of exercise, hasty eating, improper
food, are its first causes.
Laziness, and postponement. permit It
to grow into Chronic Constipation. which
means lifelong Discomfort.
1t isn't necessary to be sick-a-bed, you
know, in order to be mighty uncomfortable.
Even slight indigestion affects the
nerves, dulls the mind. and obscures the
merry sunshine of Life.
The time to adjust the Bowels is the very
minute you suspect they need adjustment.
If your tongue is slightly coated,
If your breath is under suspicion,
-lfyour head feels trifle heavy or duh,

1t acts as pleasantly as it tastes. Itisas
congenial TO your Bowels as it is TO your
Palate.
1t stimulates the muscular lining of the
Bowels and lntestines, SO that they mechani-
cally extract nourshment from the food and
drive out the waste.
The only way 70 have Cascarets ready to
use precisely when you need them is 10
carry them constantly in your pocket, as
you do Watch or a Lead pencil.
The ten cent box of Cascarets is made
