Constipation the Faith
err of Many Ills

OF the numerous ills that affect
humanity a large share start
with constipation. Keep your
bowels regular and they may be
avoided. When a laxative is
needed take Chamberlain's Tab
let's. They not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.
Obtainable everywhere.
