INTERPRETATION

"FRUIT-A-TIvES" Absolutely Pre-
vents This Dangerous Condition.

The chief cause of poor health is
our neglect of the bowels. Waste
matter, instead of passing from the
lower intestine regularly every day,
is allowed to remain there, generating
poisons which are absorbed by the
blood.
In other words, a person who is
habitually constipated, is poisoning
himself. We know now that -Anto-
intoxieation, due to non-action of tho
bowels, is diysetiy responsible for
serious Kidney and BladdcrTrouhles;
that 1t upsets the Stomach, causes
Indigestion, Loss of Appetite and
Sleeplessness; that chronic Rheum-
atism, Gout, Pain In The Back, are
relieved as soon as the bowels become
regular; and that Piprples, Rashes,
