The Best Laxative.

To keep the bowels regular the best
laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a
full glass of water half an hour before
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 Chamberlain's
Tablets. They are pleasant to take
and mild and gentle in effect. Obtain
able everywhere. adv.-Aug.
