Deal Gently with
the Bowels-Don't be Harsh

Some people say. "Cascarets are too
gentle. need strong physic. &"
The trouble is this: They have taken
harsh physic until their bowels are
callouSed.
Nature has caused the bowel Innings
20 harden-to resist the attacks Of
harsh pills.
And the bowels fail in their natural
functions while that hardness exists.
In such cases, take Cascarets oftener-
one tablet night and morning
Cascarets won't irritate. They are as
gentle and natural as a laxative food.
Soon the bowel lining grows soft again,
and begins to resume its functions
