Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
dlarrh9a, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable eff ects.
They have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently acting as
a regulative tonic, upon the relaxed
muscular coat of the bowel, thus over
coming weakness, and aiding torestore
the bowels to a more vigorous and
healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies are unsurpassable
and ideal for the use of children, old
folks, and delicate persons. We cannot
too highly recommend them to all
sufferers from any form of constipation
and its attendant evils. That's why we
back our faith in them with our promise
of money back if they do not give entire
satisfaction. Three sizes: IL tablets 10
