How About Your Danger Zone?

YOU'VE got it-every human being is born | with it-your large intestine, or colon. Itis large tube-a reservoir or sewer-intended to collect waste matter and remove it from the body.
 Plug it up with waste, neglect it, and you're sick on your feet. The waste matter stagnates, under goes decay, fermentation and germ action. Dan gerous poisons are produced, that can easily be absorbed and carried all over the body. Allow constipation to become established, and you are liable to become definitely and miserably sick-and not on your feet either. You have broken Natures laws.
 Better be kind to her. Keep the danger zone clean, with regular bowel movement, and Nature will thank you, and pay you back in gold coin health good nature, and feeling of eagerness for your daily task.
 A large proportion of almost every form of sickness is caused or made worse by the poisons produced as result of constipation.
 Nuol has the approval ot established medical practice, because it does upset the system do pills castor oil and purgave mineral waters sa etc. It softens the of the colon making them easy for the intestinal muscles to regular hours.
