 Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi- ton is perfectly natural It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active al youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
 So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow els must be kept active. This is inn portant al all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
 Age is not time for harsh pnys- ics. Youth may occasionally whip the boweg into activity But a lash can't be used every day What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and natu- ral tonic. One that can be constant ly used without harm. The only euch tonic is Cascatets. and they cost only no cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep.
