WARE WASTE AND

- ,sa1on Bodies Are Poisoned by Their
DUN Waste Most Illnesses
Are PyeUentabje

The human body haste 3e heated and
/ ne foods burned ms. !e he body pro-
q cemuch waste. Allth.s waste should
lie removed from the body regularly,
thoroughly, daily, by the eliminative
vrans,-which are the bowels. kid
Tvs, skin, and to some extent the
Lungs. These should act in harmony
if the bowels are inactive extra
effort is required of the others,
',hich easily become deYanged. Many
medicines will force bowel action
temporarily but the after. effects are
harmful. Many remedies are adver-
tised, some of which have proven
year after year to be reliable, etiici'
xnt, and without harmful action or
effect. Take Beecham's Pills for ex-
ample. For over 70 years Beech
ans has been a household word all
over the world 70 years of use
by all sorts of folks, men, women
and even children, have proven first,
that Beecham's Pills do what is
claimed for them; second, that they
are harmless, do not produce bad
effects. Some medicine forces Nature
TO unnatural action. Other medicines,
like those contained in Beecham's
Pills assist Nature, act mildly, per-
suade and hence produce no harmful
effects. 1t is common to find fam
lilies in which Beecham's have been
used by several generations, their
use handed down from father to son
and from mother to daughter.
That's the best possible recon-
mendation for any remedy. Every
druggist sells Beecham's, is glad to
do so because he knows that their
reputation has been won by merit.
