BEWAREOF
LAXATIVES
If You Are Constipated and Have
Malaria In Your System
Read The Following

The only way to overcome consti-
patton and the resultant ills is to get
your liver in good working order. By
taking just laxatives you do not touch
the liver. One man of our acquain-
tance was a sufferer from constipa-
tion for years. He had taken salts,
oil, pills and various laxatives until
his skin was like parchment. The man
actually looked twenty years older
than he was. He had gotten in such
shape that he never had natural
bowel movement and even the
various laxatives that he was using
had to gradually be increased to get
any effect.
He was never well and yet could,
if asked, point to no special illness.
He was a victim of general ills-all
caused from one trouble-if he had
but known it. It took only one bot
tie of PLANK'S BLOOD MEDICINE
to give this man a new lease on life
and after six bottles he is now as
fat, rosy and health as he was when
he was boy. The secret of his won-
derful recovery is in the action of
this scientific preparation on the liv-
er and blood. He never takes a lax
ative now and the bowels are regu-
lar. The digestion is good The lin
ing of the stomach and bowels are
now able to absorb nourishment from
the food which had been passing out
of the body unassimilated.
This grave condition was due to
LAXATIVES which do not ASSIST
NATURE, but instead sap the life
from fho walls nf tha etoY,oo ob onJ
bowels.
Z PLANK'S BLOOD MEDICINE is
now carried by Nathan Murray,
druggist, and all good drug stores.
