Chronic Constipation.

Perhaps you have never thought OF
it, but this disorder is due to lack of
moisture in the residual matter OF the
food. IF you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take lots
of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely. In
the meantime use the most mild and '
gentle laxatives. Strong and harsh
cathartics take too much water out of
the system and make a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain . Tablets are easy
and pleasant to take, and most agree
able in effect. Give them trial.

Oh, God above, take care Of her,
Wherever she may be,
Guide her and protect her,
For she is all the world to me.
Bless her and keep her from all harm,
Don It let her go astray;
Keep her in the straight and narrow

For I IL come back to her some day.
Bless her and keep her, oh, Lord,
Till I return again.
She is mine and love her.
This is my prayer. Amen.
