About Constipwtion

Certain articles OF diet tend ia
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 move
ment of the bowels. When the
bowels are badly constipated, how
ever, the sure way is to take one or
two OF Chamberlain's Tablets imme-
diately after supper.
