Only Cascarets'
 if Constipated Gently clean your liver and constipated bowels while
 you sleep.


 Take a Cascaret tonight and thor oughly cleanse your Liver, Stomach and Bowels, and you will surely feel great by morning. You men and women who have headache, coated tongue, can't sleep, are bilious, nervous and upset, bothered with sick. gassy, disordered stomach, or have backache and feel all worn out
 Are you keeping your bowels clean with Cascarets-or merely forcing a, passa geway every few days with salts. cathartfc pills or castor oil? This is important.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse and regulate the stomach. remove the sour, tlndigested and fermentfng food and foul gases: take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the constipated waste matter and poison from the fn- testiHes and bowels.
 Remember A. Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning. A 10 cent box from your druggist means healthy bowel action: clear head and eheerfufness for months. Don't forget the children.
