THE BEST LAXATIVE

To keep the bowels regular the best
laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a
full glass of water half an hour be-
fore breakfast and eat an abundance
of fruit and vegetables, also establish
a regular habit and be sure that your
bowels move once each day. When
a medicine is needed take Chamber
lain's Tablets. They are pleasant to
take and mild and gentle in effect.
