CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physlc Cause Distress
ina COMPLAINTS.

You cannot be over-careful in the Sc
lection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emer-
gency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They may cause
gripping, nausea and other distressing
after-effects that are frequently health
destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy, which
we know, for constipation and asso-
ciate bowel disorders. We have such
absolute efaith in the virtues Of this
remedy that we sell 1t on our guaran-
tee of money back in every instance
where it fails to give entire satisfac-
ton, and we urge all in need of such
medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects
They have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact, apparently act
ing as a regulative tonic upon the re-
Taxed muscular coat of the bowel, thus
overcoming weakness, and aiding to
restore the bowels to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly complete
ly relieve constipation, except of course
when of a surgical character. They also
tend to overcome the necessity of con.
stantly taking laxatives to keep the
bowels in normal condition. Three sizes
of packages, 10 cents, 25 cents, and so
cents. Remember, you can obtain Rex.
