effective. These are a
few things desirable. and we submit

EFFECTS OF CONSTIPATION

Constipation causes a stoppage of the
sewerage system of the body The
poisonous refuse matter that should be
carried away is retained in the system
and often poisons the blood and causes
numerous disorders. No one can afford
to neglect his bowels A dose of Cham
berain's Tablets affords relief. Avoid
drastic cathartics as they take too much
water out of the system and their use is
likely to be followed by constipation.
