Everyone must occasionally give TO the
bowels some regular help or else suffer
from constipation, bilious attacks, stom-
ach disorders and sick headache. But do
not whip the bowels into activity with
harsh cathartics
What the liver and bowels need is a
gentle and natural tonic, one that can
constantly be used without harm The
geRtlest liver and bowel tonic is "Casca
rets." They put the liver to work and
cleanse the colon and bowels Of all waste

Twenty five million boxes of Cascarets
are sold each year. They work while you
sleep. Cascarets cost so little too.-Ady.
