Ideal Food for
Women Who
Need a Laxative

In Italy aud other oil using nations con-
s.ipation and dyspepsia are practically IN
known. People forget they have stomach
and bowels. Their digestion Is perfect-their
hair Is glossy-their eyes bright-their skin
soft and veIvety. They feel Ike singing all
the time. Quite contrast TO the dyspeptic
conditions in this country where people drug
themselves continually TO aid the digestion
Of their foods and TO force the process Of
ehnina tion. Largely, we believe, the use of
cosmetics and other complexion remedies are
due TO lack OF proper digestion and bowel
regulation.
