DON'T USE DRUGS
FOR CONSTIPATION
lust Try Natures Cure

We all know that constipation
brings on countless other complaints
if not taken in hand, appendicitis
among them-also that any drug will
lose its power after being taken for a
time-but we should also know that
every drug forces nature instead of
assisting her, and will, if continued,
make us slaves to them
There is now a method Of Internal
Bathing which will keep the intes-
tines as clean and pure and free from
waste as exacting nature can demand
which, taken occasionally, will pre-
vent constipation, biliousness with its
depression and the countless more
serious diseases which are caused by
the blood taking up the poisons from
the intestines and carrying them
through the system
That method is the j. B. L. Cas-
cade." which IS being enthusiastically
used by many thousands. is pre-
scribed by the most enlightened ply
sicians everywhere and is now being
shown and explained by Affleck's
Drug Store, 18th and F streets north
west
Every one should at least investi-
gate this nature-cure without delay.
