THEY lNJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary cathartlcs and Piils and
Harsh Physic Cause Dis-
tressine Complaints.

You cannot be over careful In the
selection OF medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except In emer-
geney cases. Ordinary pills, cathar-
tics and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They cause gripping.
nausea and other :, distressing after
effects that are frequently health-de-
stroying and a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues OF this remedy
that we sell 1t on our guarantee OF
money back in every instance where
1t fails to give entire satisfaction, and
we urge all in need of such medicine
to try It at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies contain an entire
w new ingredient which Ia odorIess.
tasteless and colorless. AS an active
agent, 1t embraces the valuable quail
tiles of the best known intestinal reg
ulator tonics.
RexaH Orderlies are eaten like
candy, They 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 ac-
ton upon the glands and organs with
which they come in contact, act as
positive and regulative tonic upon
the relaxed muscular coat of the bowel
and it's dry mucous lining; remove ir-
ritation, overcome weakness, tone and
strengthen the nerves and muscles.
and restore the bowels and associate
organs to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
RexaH Orderlies completely relieve
constipation, except when of @ snrgi-
cal character. They also tend to over
come the necessity Of constantly taxi
ing laxatiyes to keep the bowels in
normal condition.
There is really no medicine Tor this
purpose so good as Rexall Orderlies.
especially for children, aged and deli
cate persons. They are prepared in
tablet form, in two sizes of packages:
IL tablets 10 cents, and 36 tablets Is
cents. Remember you can obtain
Rexall Remedies in Fargo only at our
store-The Rexall Store. The Waldorf
