our planet is not round like an orange

Laxative for
Women Free

There is a great difference in the
purposes to which a laxative should
be put Tablets and pills, salts, etc,
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
full for the average person.

needed by anyone, weak or strong though
they may be. for the object is simply to
move the bowels. and IL a gentle laxative
will do 1t, what is the use of violent
one?

well-deserved vogue among women and
