NOT SALTS, OIL OR
PILLS But CASCARETS
No odds how sick your Stomach; how
hard your head aches or how
Bilious-Cascarets make
you feel great.

You men and women who somehow
can't get feeling -right-who have an
almost daily headache, coated tongue.
foul taste and foul breath, dizziness,
can't sleep, are bilious, nervous and
upset. bothered with sick. gassy
disordered stomach. or have back
ache and feel all worn out.
Are you keeping clean inside with
Cascarets, or merely forcing a pas
sageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil? This Is
important
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach, re-
move the sour. undigested and fer
mentinG food and foul gases; take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the system all the decomposed
waste matter and poison in the in
testines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighton
you out by morning--a 10-cent box
from anv drug store will keep your
entire family feeling good for months.
Don't forget the children. They love
cascarets because they taste good
do good-never gripe or sicken.
