more than mere temporary relief--and
which does not encourage the laxative

IAX-OLA acts so easily, gently,
there is never the least pain or discom-

Instead of weakening, it strengthens

feel like a new being from head to

LAX-OLA is without question the
most natural most effective and safest
remedy for costiveness, and associate
troubles, yet produced by medical sci
ence. 1t Is so remarkably meritorious
so different" that no man or woman
who tries it would ever think Of using
any other laxative after that.
LAX-OLA is the ideal laxative for old
and young, for invalids as well as the
robust. Needn't hesitate to give it to
the children; they all like it. Lax-ola
