 Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi- ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as youth The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
 So all old people need Cascarets. One might as we'll refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow els must be kept active. This is inn portant at all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
 Age is not a time for harsh physics Youth may occasionally whip the bow els into activity. But lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep.
