DON'T BE BILIOUS, cONSTIPATED,
SICK, WITH BREATH BAD
AND STOMACH SOUR.

Tonight sure! Take Cascarets and
enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and
bowel cleansing you ever experienced.
Wake up with your head clear, stom-
ach sweet, breath right and feeling
fine. Get rid of sick headache, bilious
ness. constipation, furred tongue. sour
stomach, bad colds. Clear your skin.
brighten your eyes, quicken your step
and fell like doing full days work.
Cascarets are better than salts, pills
or calomel because they don't shock
the liver or grippe the bowels or cause
Inconvenience all the next day.
Mothers should give cross, sick, bill
ious, feverish children whole Cas-
caret anytime as they can not injure
the thirty feet of tender bowels.

feel the exhilaration OF real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood i The hest insurance

diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed IN the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.

meals, and for a vegetable tonic there's
