PURE CASCARA IS -.
A FINE LAXATIVE

There is probably no better laxative
known than pure cascara. but cascara
alone will not always relieve an aggra-
waited case of constipation. E
SIENNA leaves have been used from
time immemorial to relieve a congest-
ed condition OF the bowels and never
yet has anything been discovered ID
surpass their effects. But SIENNA leaves
alone, ike cascara alone, will not all
ways answer the problem. To get best
results SIENNA leaves and cascara should
be mixed. A little dose of each is like
