TU-BO-LAX

Cut out pills, castor oil, lax
ative water, salts, suppositories,
etc. They rip and tear and weaken
your system. Tu-Bo-Lax instead
comes as helping friend to you
and to physicians, who have had
to largely depend upon purga-
tives, suppositories or injections.
Tu-Bo-Lax is blessing to hui
manity. 1t is immediate in action,
and soothing and beneficial in eff
feet. Administer it to a baby or
an invalid, or to the strongest
person without inconvenience or
debilitating effect.
In fact, Tu-Bo-Lax is the little
school-master of the bowels - it
teaches them to act regularly.
Tu-Bo-Lax at once appeals to
physicians, because it is a new
idea with real merit. Those who
have tested it are giving it
heartiest support. Tu-Bo-Lax
simply empties the lower bowel
without disturbing the function
of any organ. 1t will appeal to
the home where it should always
be kept for emergency. No
traveller should start on a journey
without a tube of Tu-Bo-Lax.
Castor oil, salts, purgative
waters and drastic cathartics
must quickly give place to this
remedial agent. 1t is clean, con-
venient, harmless.
Sold by all up-to-date drug
gists, or we will send you upon
receipt of 25c package by mail.
