NOT TO KNOW
is NO EXCUSE
To Know How to Keep Well Is'Be.ter
Than to Call in Doctor to Get Well.
Sickness Is a Penalty Not an Accident.


One Of the best and most depend
able and important preventatives Of
getting sick, one of the surest ways
of keeping well is to form and main
tain the exceedingly good habit of
regular, thorough, daily bowel evacu-
alton.
That is Natures "best bet". You
should do your best to help Nature,
not hinder her in her efforts to keep
you well. With the best Of good in
tentions you may employ many me-
thods. Strong, drastic acting medic
ines that force the bowels to act SIM
ply replace one evil by another evil
1t may secure temporary action but it
produces more than temporary ir-
ritation and other bad effects. Don't
Judge by promise in selecting q SIM
pie remedy to assist Nature. Per-
formance is the true test. Take
Beecham's for example.
to take Beecham's. Today millions
of people all over the world take
Beecham's, recommend Beecham's to
their friends, hand the use of Beech
ANS down from father to son or
from motner 10 daughter 1or gener-
alton after generation. That means
much. You never hear any unfavor-
able criticism or complaint regarding
Beecham's. That means much If
not more. 1t takes real merit to
withstand the tests of time and trial
You can do much to help Nature
keep you well by keeping a box OF
Beecham's in the house, ready fol
use at the first warning of disorder
or arrangement. All druggists
sell Beecham's-are glad to sell
Beecham's.
