Most old people must give to the
powell some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton Is perfectly natural. II is Just as
natural as il is for Old people to walk
slowly. For g 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 well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as TO neglect this
gentle aid 10 weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is i'm
portant at all ages. but never so much
as az nifty.
Age is not a tine for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els 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 hat can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets. and they cost onlv
10 cents per box at any drug store.
