ing Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful IN the
selection Of medicine for children. On
ly the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except IN emr-
gency cases. Ordinary pills, cathar.
tics and purgatices are apt to do
more harm than good. They may
cause gripping, nausea and other Dis
tresstng after-eftects that are fro
quently misunderstanding.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexal Onderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy which
We know, for constipation and asso-
ciate bowel disorders. We have such
absolute faith in the virtues Of this
remedy that we sell 1t ON our guar
antee Of money back in every In
stance we've it fails to give entire
satisfaction, and we urge all in need
Of such medicine to try it at our
risk.
Rexall 0rderlies are eaten Just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diaThoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
IooseneSs OF other undesirable effects
They have a very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact, apparently act
ing as a reguEative tonic upon the ne
laxed muscular coat Of the bowel
thus overcoming weakness, and aid
ing to restore the bowels to more vic
j orous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly com
lrletely relieve constipation, except
of course, when of a surgical charac
ter. They also tend to overcome tn
necessity Of constantly taking lax
tives to keep the bowels in norma
CONDITION. Three sizes Of packages
10 cents, 25 cents, and 80 cents. RI

edies in Great Bend only at on
