THE DOCTORS QUESTION.
Advice Against the Use of Harsh
Purqatives and PHYSICS

A doctor first question when consult
ed by patient is, ARE your bowels reg
ular:" He knows that 90 % of illness is
attended with inactive bowels and torpid
liver. This condition poisons the system
with noxious gases and water matter
which naturally accumulates and which
must be removed through the bowels
before health can be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force passage through the bowels,
causing pain and damage to the delicate
intestinal structure which weakens the
whole system, and at best only produces
temporary relief. The repeated use of
such treatments caus chronic irritation
of the stomach and bowels, hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves. stiff
fens their muscles and generally brings
about an injurious habit which some
times has fatal results.
We have positive, pleasant and safe
remedy for constipation and bowel dis
orders in general. We airs so certain of
its great curative value that we promise
to return the purchasers money in every
case when it fails to produce entire salts
saction. This remedy is called Rexall
Orderlies. We urge you to try them at
our entire risk.
Rexall orderlies are very pleasant to
take, they act quietly and have a sooth-
ing, strengthening, healing influence on
the entire intestinal tract. They do not
purge, grippe, cause nausea, f1atulence,
excessive looseness. diarrhoea or other
annoying effect, and they may be taken
at any time without any inconvenience

gist habit and cure constipation and all
similar ailments. whether acute or
chronic. They are especially good foi
