Now Mrs. Wagner is preparing

CASCARETS insure
INSIDE CLEANLINESS
The Millions of cascaret users never
have Headache, Constipation, Bill
iousness or Sick Stomach.

1t is more necessary that you keep
your Bowels, Liver and Stomach
clean. pure and fresh than it is to
keep the sewers and drainage of a
large city free from obstruction.
Are you keeping clean inside with
Cascarets--or merely forcing a pas
sageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil? This is
important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
the decomposed waste matter and
poison<in the intestines and bowels.
No odds how badly and upset you
feet, a Cascaret tonight will straight
en- you out by morning. They work
while YOU sleep. A 10-cent box from
your druggist will keep your entire
family feeling good for months. Don't
forget the children--their little Ainsides
need a good, gentle cleansing, too.
