Beware Of AIoeS!
By 6u. LAue
Beware of laxatives containing aloes

Beware Of laxatives containing aloes
Aoes aids in giving free and easy bowel
action--but it produces gripping and piles!
Many people suffer from piles because
they use some laxative that contains aloes.
There is no law that requires aloes to be
mentioned as an ingredient in laxative,
so you must guard yourself.
so!emnly swear that there is not any
aloes in DR.. Trues Elixir. So when you
need laxative advise you to take my
own medicine, DR. True's Elixir.
DR.. True's Elixir is composed of the ex-
tracts, essences and juices of leaves, barks,
seeds and roots of known value for stomach
troubles and bowel troubles. 1t sets the
stomach right and produces free, normal,
easy action of the bowels. Also, it expels
all worms and other parasites from stomach
or bowels, except tape worms.
These wonderful remedial qualities are
combined with delicious, honey Favored
syrup and other pleasant-tasting aromatlcs,
SO that DR.. True's Elixir is the incest pos
sible medicine to take. This makes II
easy to give to children also. They get
so they really like to take III
