There can be neither comfort nor
good health where constipation exists.
Most people suffer from this cause
at intervals, many are chronic VIC
Tins.
The old-time remedies for this very
common complaint are nauseating
doses of some powerful purgatives
that leave the condition worse than
before.
In the new laxative, Pinklets, is pre-
sented dainty, sugar-coated granule,
that is free from unpleasant effects,
