Ends Constipation, Root of Many Ills

If people generally appreciated the
seriousness Of constipation, and how to
really overcome this distressing condi-
ton. they would know how to rid the
world of its ailments. Authorities state
that at least So per cent of all disor-
ders is directly or indirectly due To
chronic costiveness. .
Sick headaches, that tired feeling"
sallowness, pinples, olotches, sour
stomach, bilousness congested liver,
nervousness, rheumatism, are a few OF
many troubles often caused by the pois-
on absorbed from the waste matter in
the intestines. Regular bowel move
ment carries this poison out of the sys-
tenn, stops constipation-and so Is a
preventive OF many diseases.
To create a normal bowel activity,
take a LAX-OI-A tablet every night for
a few nights You viii feel Ike new
being. It's the best way.
, LAX-OLA Is that wonderful choco-
late favored Sonic-laxative that is
meeting with such splendid success.
Mild, non gripping. non-injurious. Tones
you up. instead OF weakening you-and
il contains no habit-forning element.
Truly the ideal laxative.
