you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They, only give temporary
relief and their reaction Is harmful and
sometimes more annoying than con-

cure and their tendency is to weaken
the already weak organs with which
they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is SO strong
that we sell it on the positive guaran-

Julian Leavitt begins an important and
highly interesting series Of articles on
American prisons. in which he shows
how many Of our prisons have fallen
into the hands Of contractors who con-

official:
