Past Fifty? You Need "CasCarets'' What Glasses Are to Weak Eyes-Cascarets Are to
 Weak Bowels.

Afest cid people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi- tion is perfectly natural It is just as natural >as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never SO active as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
 So all cid people need Casearets. One might as well refuse te aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This Is important at all ages, but never SC much as at fifty.
 Age is net time fer harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity, But a lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the cid need is a gentle and nat ural teRie. One that can be con- s+e.atiH4 used without harm. The efa1y
