PAST FIFTY? YOU
NEED "CASCARETS"
What glasses are to weak eyes
-Cascarets are to weak
bowels.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t 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 old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid
weak eyes with glasses as to neg
lect this gentle aid to weak bowels.
The bowels must be kept active.
This is important at all ages, but
never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh phys
les. Youth may occasionally whip
the bowels into activity. But a lash
can't be used every day. What. the
bowels of the old need is a gentle
and natural tonic. One that can be
constantly used without harm. The
only such tonic is Cascarets and
they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store. They work while
you sleep.

fish closer relations between Spain and
Latin America, and remarked that he
was considering making a visit to the
American continent.
