troubled with constipation. and have tried many remedies, all of which seemed to cause pain without giving much relief I finally tried Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets and found them ex- cellent. Their action is pleasant and mild. and their chocolate taste makes them easy to take. I am more than glad to recommend them"
 Clean up the bowels and keep them clean is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from hsbitual con stipation. Do not delay too long, but begin proper curative measures,
 Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are new remedy for this old complaint, and } great improvement over the cathartics you have been using in the past. They taste like candy and work like charm. A trial will convince you.
 Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at a5 cents box containing 2s doses. If not found satisfactory after trial. re- turn the box to your druggist and he will return your money.
