Not Salts, Oil or
Pills But "CasCarets''
No Odds how sick your Stomach; how
hard your head aches or how Bill
ous-cascarets make you feel
Great.

Cascarets act as bowel tonic, not
as an irritant They are vegetable.
Their action is natural. Their effect
is the same as the effect of some
foods. They are gentle; no gripping.
They are pleasant; no dreading. They
are convenient; no waiting.
One old way was castor oil. The
effect was to grease the bowels, and
for Il single day. Oil never causes
the bowel muscles to act. Other ways
were pills, salts and cathartics. The
effect was the same as pepper in the
nostrils. They flooded the bowels
with fluid. Those fluids were digestive
juices. And the waste today means
lack tomorrow.
We knew that the method was
wrong. That the after effects only
weakened the bowels. But we had no
gentle laxative in the old days. So We
waited as long as we could, then took
big dose of physic. The method
today is to take one Carcaret at a
tme-just as soon as you need It..
Then the bowels are always clean
They cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store.
