From Constipation ?
Take a Wineglassful Of Tollo Water
and Feel Fine in Half
an Hour

That tired, nervous feeling
comes from constipation. De-
cayed food in the bowels is poi
soning the system, spelling the
complexion, making pimples,
blotches, bad breath and bilious
ness.
Tollo Water gives quick and
gentle relief-a third of a tum-
bIerful in a glass of plain water
before breakfast will clear out the
decayed waste in the stomach and
bowels in thirty minutes and
make you feel fine for the rest of
the day. An occasional glass be-
fore breakfast will keep the bow
els regular and the liver active.
You will never be troubled with
foul breath and pimply, blotchy
skin if you will keep the system
clean.
Get a 15-cent bottle from any
drug store, start taking it in the
morning and take it regularly for
a few days until the system has
been thoroughly cleaned. After
that an occasional wineglassful
will keep your bowels regular,
your skin clear and your liver
working fine.
