EFFECTS or CONSTIPATION

Constipation causes 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 at

Chamberlains Tablets will afford re-
lief. Avoid drastic cathartics as they
take too much water out Of the system
and their use is likely to be followed
