This is the day of the gentle in
medicine. The cathartic pill is old
fashioned. Salts and castor oil be-
long to grandmother's time. The
modern doctor deals mildly. Cascar-
cts are effective, yet gentle. They
don't irritate or grippe They don't
like cathartics, waste the digestive
fluids.
Cascarets do only what some foods
will do, what some fruits will do,
what exercise does for the bowels.
Their action is natural, not artificial.
If you live outdoors, exercise a great
deal, and avoid rich foods, you don't
need them. Otherwise you do.
The most helpful laxative ever de-
yised is Cascarets. They are candy
tablets, pleasant to take Then, they
are convenient The ten-cent box
fits the vest pocket or the lady's
purse. That is a vital point. The
time to take laxative is the minute
