AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury
to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation
you should avoid strong drugs anC
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful ant
sometimes more annoying than consti
patton. They in no way effect cure
and their tendency is to weaken the al
ready weak organs with which they
come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have the
best constipation treatment ever de-
vised. Our faith in it is so strong thai
we sell it on the positive guarantee thai
it shall not cost the user cent II II

completely remedy constipation. This
preparation is called Rexall Orderlies.
These are prompt, soothing and most
effective in action. They are made OF q
recent chemical discovery. Their princi.
pal ingredient is odorless, tasteless and
colorless. Combined together with other
well known ingredients, long established
for their usefulness in the treatment OF
constipation, it forms tablet which is
eaten Just like candy. They may be
taken at any time, either day or night,
without fear of their causing any In
convenience whatever. They do not
gripe, purge nor cause nausea. They
act without causing any pain or exces-
sive looseness of the bowels. They are
ideal for children, weak, delicate per-
sons and aged people as well as for the
most hearty person.
They come in two size packages, Il
tablets 10 cents, 36 tablets 25 cents.
