A RE BATHS
NECESS A Y :!

This looks like a foolish question in
this enlightened age, but there are
nearly million Americans who knew
nothing of Internal Bathing few
years ago and are now eager to testify
that they are fully as essential TO-
health as External Baths.
BY a purely natural process OF prop
erly using warm water the y. B. L.
Cascade" removes ALL the poisonous
waste from the Lower Intestine. which
physicians agree is the cause of IS per
cent. of all human ailments.
1t instantly relieves constipation
properly regulates the bowels and pre-
vents all the dragging down which
Biliousness and Liver Troubles always
create.
Mrs. Julia A. Hazleton, Of Madison.
Ind, writes: II have had great benefits
from using the Cascade and Anil
septic Tonic. 1 had liberated bowels
for years and 1t has done me won-
derful deal Of good. l thank you very
much for your good advice. Respect
fully yours"

demand for 81. B. L. Cascades" in the

paain it to you on request. A free and
