Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a

into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, t,causing cramping and nausea.

stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle Of

About Constipation.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and
bananas, also graham bread and whole
wheat bread promote a movement OF
the bowels. When the bowels are
badly constipated, however, the sure
way is to take one or two OF Cham
berlain's Tablets Immediately after
supper. (Adv.)
