Your Money Back If You are not
Satisfied with the Medicine
We Recommend.

We are so positive that our
rrmedy will permanently relieve
constipation, no matter how
chronic 1t may be, that we offer
to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results.
It IL worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Laxatives or
cathartics do much harm. They
cause a reaction, irritate, and
weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic.
Besides, their use becomes a
habit that is dangerous.
Constipation Is caused by a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the large intestine or des-
cending colon. To expect per-
manent relief you must there
fore tone up and strengthen these
organs and restore them to heal
thier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Or
derlies on our recommendation.
They are exceedingly pleasant to
take, being eaten like candy, and
are ideal for children, delicate
persons, and old folks, as we'll as
for the robust. They act direct
~ on the nerves and muscles OF
the bowels. They apparently
have a neutral action on other
associate organs or glands. They
do not purge, cause excessive
looseuess, nor create any incon-
venience whatever. They may
be taken at any time. day OF
night. They will positively re-
llieve chronic or habitual consti-
patton, if not of surgical variety,

! dependent chronic ailments, il
