Play

I'm going to quit awhile
And hike to some quiet place
To rest, to loaf and play
Plays hobby, you say; perhaps
But hobbies help make health
And health is better
Than million "bucks"-
With no pep" left
To make the spending fun
So I'm going north
With wife, and "kiddies" too
To play for form again
Should you have play in mind
Just take tip from me
And talk to Strictly, the Katy man
He knows the places
And the way to go
To make the trip enjoyable.

For biliousness, bad breath,
colds, indigestion and
constipation.
Enjoy life! Liven your liver
and bowels tonight
and feel fine.

Your tongue is coated! Look inside
your watch cover and see! That's bad
business. What have you been eating
What were you drinking? What kind
OF lazy chair did you take exercise
in? Now don't think it doesn't mat
ter, because, it's your bowels that
talk now every time you open your
mouth. That doesn't help your popu-
larity, nor your earning capacity. Be-
sides, a person with bad bowels is in
bad way and a coated tongue or a
bad breath are sure signs of bad bow
els and poor digestion.
Why don't you get a 10-cent box of
Cascarets at any drug store and give
your liver and thirty feet of bowels
the incest, gentlest cleansing they ever
experienced. Take one or two Cas-
carets tonight and wake up feeling
fine and fit. All Headache, Dizziness,
Btltousness. Bad Breath Stomach
Sourness. Cold and Constipation gone
wake up with your head clear.
tongue clean, stomach sweet, liver
and bowels active, step elastic and
complexion rosy
Cascarets work while you sleep -
never grippe or sicken. Cascarets act so
gently that you hardly realize you
have taken a thorough cathartic.
They don't bother you all next day
like salts, pills, oil or calomel-Cas-
carets being perfectly harmless is best
