old People Need
A Bowel Stin1uLQ71t
The Ideal One Is a Mild Laxative
Tonic That WiH Keep fhe Botreis
Gently Active.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
Is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the Juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty of
exercise. but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is Ger
tain, that a state OF constipation should
always be avoided, as II is dangerous
TO life and health. The best plan is
to take a mild laXauye as often as Is
deemed necessary. But with equal Ger.
tainty it is suggested that cathartics
purgatives, physics salts aud pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are so harsh as TO be shock to a
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands Of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take gentle laxative-tonic

acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
