The Day Looks
Different After a Cascaret

No need of those days when you are
not at your best. II
Headache and dizziness are generally
due to the bowels.
You know that, but you put off the
treatment till night. That is wrong,
for 1t means the waste of a day.
A single Cascaret, taken the tfoment
you need It, makes everything right
very soon.
You will feel in an hour as you hope to
feel the next morning.
YOU can't use harsh cathartics and
pills in that way.
They irritatc the bowels and cause
gripping. The pain isworse than the
headache.
But Cascarets never grippe.
