Ra~nrr.,anA

Recommend
1 We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic IL may be, that
we offer to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail TO produce salts
factory results.
1t is worse than useless TO attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxitives or cathartics do much harm.
They cause reaction, irritate, and
weaken the bowels and tend TO make
constipation more chronic. Besides,
their use becomes habit that is dan
gerous.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or defending colon. To ex-
pict permanent relief you must there
fore tone up and strengthen these
organs and retore them TO healthier
activity.
We want you To try Rexall Orderlies
on our recommendation. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant to take, being eaten
like candy, and are ideal for children,
delicate persons, and old folks as well
as TO the robust. They act directly on
the nerves and muscles af the bowels.
They apparently have neutral action
on other associate organs or glands.
They do not purge, cause excessive loose
ness, nor create any inconvenience
whatever. They may be taken at any
time day or night. They will positive
relieve chronic or habitual constipation
If not OF surgical variety, and the my
RAIDS of associate or dependent chronic
ailments, if taken with regularity for a
reasonable length Of time. II tablets,

an All Thy Ways Acknowledge Him."
The beginning Of the journey with
fasting and prayer gives us an insight
into Ezra's power and efficiency. God
was with him"-he walked with God.
he sought TO know and to do the Di-
vine will. Surely 1t Is in vain that any
would attempt to serve the Lord and
vet neglect to humble themselves be
fore Him and to make request for His
blessing and guidance. We submit
that fasting and prayer and earnest
desire to know and to do the Lords
will are far more efflcacious for good
than are large donations of money.
Perhaps there has been too great a
tendency on the part Of many to leave
out the matter of religious work at
home and abroad save along financial
tines, forgetful, in part at least, that
they labor In vain unless the Lord
grant His blessing.
The fact that Notwithstanding our
wonderful financial efforts during the
past century there are today twice as
many heather as there were a century
ago, should take us to the Lord in

the meaning of the prayer He taught
us-"Thy Kingdom come; thy will be
done on earth as 1t Is done In heaven"
Seeing the futility of our efforts to
bring about heavenly conditions on
earth ought to lead all Of Gods ear

to see whether or not II teaches that
the second coming of Messiah Is to
unite to Himself His "elect" Church
as His Bride and then to establish
