CONSTIPATION THE CAUSE OF
DISEASE
Natures Own Remedy.

Constipation is not only disagreeable. II is
dangerous. II allowed to become chronic
It will prove the forerunner of disease. Ma
ture intended the bowels to move regularly
once a day. The delicate stomach and
bowels are the keystone of the physical or
ganization and should be kept in normal
working order to preserve health, When
the bowels become sluggish they require a
natural and harmless laxative Too often
they are permanently damaged by powerful
drugs taken to force action. In the famous
Natural HUNYADI JANOs water, Nature
herself has provided her own harmless
laxative, which can be relied on for quick
and sure results. Il a tumblerful on arising
will, within an hour, move the bowels
gently and copiously. A bottle costs but a
trifie and contains man doses.
Look out for unscrupulous druggists
who will substitute unless you ask for
HUNYADI JANos.
