1t was Plato who said: Man holds
to the good and will not knowingly

only need to have the good clearly
presented to them SO they can recog-
nize it. 1t is not fair to them to as
sumo that they are perverse, when
probably the trouble simply is that
they have not yet had sufficient
chance to see the difference between
right and wrong This is especial

cent box will truly amaze you.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural It Is lust
as natural as IT is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This Is i'm
portant at all ages. but never so much
as at fifty.
q Age Is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
Of the old need Is a gentle and ra-
tural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic is Carcarets. and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any. drug store.
