Wcmen Of Sedentary tiablts.

Women who get but little exercise
are likely to be troubled with constipa-
tion and indigestion and will find Cham
berlain's Tablets highly beneficial. Not
so good as a three or four mile walk
every day, but very much better than
to allow the bowels to remain in a con-
stipated condition. They are easy and
pleasant to take and most agreeable in
effect. Obtainable everywhere.
