We are so positive that we can relieve
constipation, no matter how chronic it
may be, that we offer to furnish the med
icine free of all cost if we fail.
We think il is worse than useless to
attempt to cure constipation with cath
artic drugs. Carthartics may do much
harm. They may cause a reaction, ir1i-
tate and weaken the bowels, and make
constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied and
may be caused by weakness of the nerves
and muscles of the large intestine or
colon. To expect a cure YOU must there
fore tone up and strengthen those parts
and restore them to healthier activity
The discovery of the active principle
of our remedy involved the labor of
skilful research chemists. This remedy
produces results such as are expected
from the best OF the best known intes-
final tonics, and it IS particularly prompt
in its results.
We want YOU to try Rexall Orlerlies
