your overdue bowels going, you don't

You can shake your fist at almost
any old disease known, If you've got the
bowels that do business every "a hours.

tell you the same thing, only he may
be more particular in his language but
it won't have the impression on your
mind.
Now, you can't cure consultation

why there is much constipation today
is because there are so many drugs,
liquids and unnatural bowel movers
guzzled and swallowed by so many
thousands of people.
X is true these cathartics sluice. out
the bowels clean, but they also sluice
out that bowel-moving juice or secre-
