WAKE UP FEELING FINE! BEST LAXATIVE FOR MEN, WOMEN
 AND. CHILDREN.

Enjoy fife. Remove the liver and bowel poison which is keeping your head dizzy, your tongue coated, breath offensive, and stomach sour. Don't stay bilious sick, headachy, constipated and full of cold. Why don't you get a box of Cascarets from the drug store and eat one or two tonight and enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced? You will make up feeling fit and fine. Cas- carets never gripe or sicken like salts, pills and calomel. They act so gently that you hardly realize you have taken a cathartic. Mothers should give cross, sick, bilious or feverish children whole Cascaret any tine-they act thoroughly and are harmless.
