TRY "CASCARETS" FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
IF SICK OR BILIOUS
Tonight! Clean Your Bowels and
Stop Headache, Colds, Sour
Stomach,

Get 10-cent box now.
Turn the rascals out-the headache,
biliousness, indigestion, the sick, sour
stomach and bad colds--turn them out
tonight and keep them out with Cas-
carets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never know
the misery caused by a lazy liver,
clogged bowels, or an upset stomach.
Don't put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach:
remove the sour, fermenting food;
take the excess bile from your live,
and carry out all the constipated waste
matter and poison in the bowels. Then
you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight straightens you
out by morning. They work while you
sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug
store means clear head, sweet stom-
ach and clean, healthy liver and bowel
action for months. Children love Cas-
carets because they never gripe or
sicken.

While it is BEht and appears to be

have been about twelve feet in
height and able to have taken six

The coal mine IN which it was
found has been in operation many
years and is one of the deepest in
