END BOWEL MISERY
WITH A 'CASCARET'
Never any Headache, BiliOusness, IndI-

Miserable Days After This

This is the day OF the gentle in med
icine. The cathartic pill is old-fashion-
ed. Salts and castor oil belond TO
grandmother's time. The modern doc
tor deals mildly. Cascarets are ef-
fective. yet gentle. They don't irri-
tate or grippe. They don't, like cathar-
tics. waste the digestive fluids.
Cascarets do only what some fluids
will do. what some fruits will do. what
exercise does for the bowels. Their
action is natural, not artificial. II you
like outdoors, exercise a great deal
and avoid rich foods. you don't need
them. Otherwise you do.
The most helpful laxative ever de-
vised is Cascarets. They are candy tab
lets, pleasant to take. Then, they are
convenient. The ten-cent box fits the
vest pocket or the lady's purse. That
is vital point. The time TO take a lax
ative is the minute you suspect that
you need it, Don't wait till you gel
home; don't wait till night. one Cas-
caret, taken any time, makes you fee
great and they cost only 10c. per box.

ERUPTION COVERED BODY

Three years ago this winter had . breaking out that covered my whole body. It itched so it seemed as if I should go crazy. It first came out in little pimples on my back and spread till it covered my whole body and limbs down to my knees, also my arms down to my elbows. Where scratched it made sores, and the ter rible itching and burning kept me from sleeping. I tried several reme- dies all to no purpose. Then l con- cluded to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuticura Soap and CIticura Ointment, also the Resolvent, for about four months, and they con- pletely cured me of eczema 1 have had no return of the disease since. I never had a good nights rest after the skin eruption first broke out till com- menced using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had only used them a few days before I could see they were beginning to heal, and the terrible itching was gone.
 Those that lived in the house at the time know how I suffered, and how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me. I never take bath with out using the Cuticura Soap, and do not believe there are better rem edies for any skin disease than the Cuticura Soap and Ointment" (Signed) Miss Sarah Calkins, Waukegan, H., Mar. 16, 1911.

 Hubby was inclined to be skeptical, but of course he might have spared himself the trouble of grumbling. and the ten-dollar note was duly deposited on No 24.
