For Consumption
A Medicine That Does Not Cost
Anything Unless It Cures.

The active medicinal ingredients
of Rexall Orderlies, which are odor-
less, tasteless and colorless, is an
entirely new discovery. Combined
with other extremely valuable in
gradients, it forms a perfect bowel
regulator, intestinal invigorator and
strengthened. Rexall Orderlies are
eaten like candy and are notable
for their agreeableness to the palate
and gentleness Of action. They do
not cause gripping or any disagree
able effect or inconvenience.
Unlike other preparations for a
like purpose, they do not create a
habit, but instead they overcome the
oause of habit acquired through the
use of ordinary laxatives, cathartics
and harsh physic. and permanently
remove the cause of constipation or
irregular bowel action.
We will refund your money with
out argument If they do not do as
we say they will. Two sizes, 20
cents and 10 cents. Sold only at
our store-the Rexal store. The
