Everyone must occasionally give the
bowels some regular help or else suf-

stomach disorders, and sick headache.
But do not whip the bowels into ac-
tivity with harsh cathartics.
What the liver and bowels need is a
gentle and natural tonic, one that can
constantly be used without harm. The
gentlest liver and bowel tonic is "Cas-
carets." They put the liver to work
and cleanse the colon and bowels of
