Rexall Orderlies are eaten just

en- at any time, day or night; do not
cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, ex-
cessive looseness, or other undesir-
able effects. They have a very mild
but positive action upon the organs
with which they come in contact, ap-
parently acting as regulative tonic
upon the relaxed muscular coat of
the bowel, thus overcoming weak
ness, and aiding to restore the bow
els to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies are unsurpassa-
BILE and ideal for the use of children,
old folks and delicate persons. We
cannot too highly recommend them
to all sufferers from any form of
constipation and it's attendant evils.
That's why we back our faith in
