YOUR MONEY BACK " YOU ARE
NOT SATISFIED WITH THE
MEDICINE WE RECOMMEND.

We are so positive that our reme-
dy will permanently relieve constipa-
ton, no matter how chronic il may
be, that we offer to furnish the med
icine at our expense should it fail to
produce satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more chron-
ic. Besides, their use becomes a ha-
bit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestine or descending colon.
To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen these
organs and restore them TO healthier
activity.
The discovery of the active prin-
ciple of our remedy involved the labor
of the worlds greatest research chem
lists. AS an active agent il possesses
the valuable qualities OF the best
known intestinal tonics rs well as
being particularly pleasant and prompt
in its results.
