Habit, for example, sets the hour
when the delicate departments of
your digestion combine in supreme
reflex action to move your bowels.
Nujol cultivates that habit. If they
move regularly all you know is that
you feel well.
If they don't move regularly, you
knaao if--the habit has failed.
The food waste stagnates in your
large intestine, decays, generates
poisons, which are absorbed into
your blood and carried all over your
body. Your next effort will be
more difiicult-and soon the bad
habit of constipation will be estab-
lished.. The good habit of regu-
larity is replaced BY the bad habit
Of irregularity-rehex action is par
alyzed, and the waste accumulates.
