CaScaretS Insure
 Inside Cleanliness
The Millions of Cascsret Users Never Have Headache, Constipation, Bili- ousness or Sick Stomach.

It 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- 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 fer1nentinE 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 feel, a Cascaret tonight will straighten you ont 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 for get the children-their little insides need good, gentle cleansing, too.

Don't rub the life out of your clothes

Sprinkle a little Gold Dust in the water, and let the Gold Dust Twins do all the hard part of the task. Gold Dust starts to dissolve and lather the moment it strikes the water; it starts to cleanse the moment it comes in contact with the garment. It instantly softens the hardest water, saves rubbing, saves wear and tear on clothes, and does most of the work without your assistance.
 Use Gold Dust next wash day, and have winter, sweeter, cleaner clothes, with half the effort and in half the time.
