THEY INJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
CompIaintS.

You cannot be overcareful in the Sc
lection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicines
should ever be given. Ordinary pills.
cathartics and purgatives are too APT
to do more harm than good. They
cause gripping, nausea and other dis
tressing after-effects that are frequent
ly health destroying and a life-lasting
annoyance
We personally recommend and guar
antee ReXall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy for con-
stipation and associate bowel disor-
ders. We have such absolute faith in
the supreme virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance where
it fails to give entire satisfaction, and
we urge all in need of such medicine
to try it at our risk.
ReXall Orderlies contain an entirely
new ingredient which is odorless taste
less and colorless. 1t embraces all the
best qualities of the soothing. laxative,
Strengthening and healing remedial &C
tive principles of the best known in
testinal regulator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleas
ant to take, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be taken
at any time, day or night; do not
cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, ex
cessive looseness. or other undesirable
effects. They have very natural &C
ton upon the glands and organs with
which they come in contact, act as i
positive and regulative tonic upon the
relax. dry muscular coat of the bowel
remove irritation, dryness and sore
ness, overcome weakness, and tone
and strengthen the nerves and muscles
and restore the bowels and ASSOCIATE
organs to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies not only cure con
stipation. but they remove the cause
of this ailment. They also overcome
the necessity of constantly taking Taxa
tives to keep the bowels in norma
condition.
There is really no similar medicine
so good as Rexall Orderlies. especially
for children, aged and delicate per

form and in two sizes of packages; /:
