ORDINARY CATHARTIcS AND
PILLS AND HARSH PHYSIC
CAUSE DISTRESSING
COMPLAINTS.

You cannot be over-careful In the
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emer-
gency cases. Ordinary pills. cathar-
tics and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They cause gripping,
nausea and other distressing after-ef-
fects that are frequently health-de-
stroying and a hfe-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy for con-
stipation and associate bowel disor-
ders We have such absolute faith in
the virtues of this remedy that we sell
it on our guarantee OF money back in
every instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction. and we urge all in
need of such medicine to try it at our
risk.
Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely
new ingredient which is odorless,
tasteless and colorless. As an active
agent. it embraces the valuable quail
ties of the best known intestinal regu-
lator tonics.
Rexall 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, nauseu. gripping, excessive
looseness or other undesirable effects.
They have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act as a positive and
regulative tonic upon the relaxed mus
cular coat of the bowel and its dry
mucous lining; remove irritation, over
come weakness, tone and strengthen
the nerves and muscles, and restore the
bowels and associate organs to more
vigorous and healthy activity
Rexall Orderlies completely relieve
constipation, except when of surgical
character. They also tend to over
come the necessity of constantly TAX
ing laxatives to keep the bowels In
normal condition.
There is really no medicine for 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 SO tablets %
cents. Remember you can obtain Rex

Gus, tear it down and put something
worthy in its place. And when you
really have something worthy, some
thing that really costs, something that
hurts, something that tears your pride
and your inclinations, exalt it, exalt it.
lift it high above your head, and say,
Lent shall mean this to me, and moth
ing less.
Reality I'm Thoughts.
ITO do this. you must write one word
across your thoughts today-Reality.
Bishop Alexander, in describing the
people that play at keeping Lent, says,
They feign a serious look which lacks
the spirit of reality They doff be-
coming blue and don becoming black.
They give up what they care not for,
but foreswear discipline If it cuts
across the trend of inclination. Like
birds of passage, they dip their wings
in the lake of penitence and fly on
their way unchanged
And the bishop of London says,
believe that the great curse and danger
of religion is unreality; 1t is so easy to
get into the habit of using unreal Ian
guage, expressing unreal sentiment, In
dulging in unreal practices, that the
first essential thin to do, if Lent is to
be useful time to us, is to divest our
minds of all cant and unreality.
I'VE can start in with our words
how our Lord stripped the men bare
who used nice words to Him and didn't
mean one of themi Good Master.
Why callest thou Me good?' He knew
he didn't mean it. L will follow Thee
whithersoever Thou goest.' The foxes
have holes, the birds of the air have
nests, but the Son of Man hath not
where to lay His head He knew he
wasn't in earnest. He wanted to cool
off his professions. He wanted him
to mean what he said. Words have
meaning, whether you mean that mean
ing or not. A man swears, and he says,
L do not mean anything by it, but it
doesn't alter the fact that he has
taken Gods name in vain. A man
talks about his sins and says In con-
clusion something about the frailty Of
human nature. What he means Is, I
am rotten Another says, God is
good, God is merciful' What he means
is. am lazy; I am a spiritual slug
gard. talk about the mercy Of God,
because 1 haven't the manhood to
throw of my sins
Preparation Essential.
There is a great chance for unreality
in our prayers. The prayer book is
compilation, a collection of the aspira-
tions, the penitence, the sorrows and
the joys of holy men for ages back
Some of the words will be absolutely
unreal for you unless you prepare
yourself for the use of them. Today
you have said that you were miserable
sinners Wednesday you will add to
that and say that you meekly acknowl-
edge your vileness. Will you mean It?
1t will depend not only on whom you
compare yourself with. 1t will depend
on how we'll you know yourself, how
real you have been in your self-exam
nations. If you have honestly probed
into your life, your thoughts, your de-
sires, and compared yourself with the
Divine example, these words will not
be unreaI to you, for you will know
too we'll that they are true.
'Tt is surprising how unreal people
are with themselves, how they go along
for years advancing in their own self
opinion simply because they are not
honest enough to take the time and to
bear the exposures of self-eXamination.
