TO USERS OF MINERAL OILS
FOR CONSTIPATION!

You have noticed the uncontrol-
liable, annoying leakage that occurs
after the use OF mineral oils commonly
sold. This is because in order to pro-
duce the proper effect Of lubricating
the intestinal tract, large doses (table-
spoonfuls) must be used.
USOLINE, the original Russian
Mineral Oil is heavy bodied and re-
mains in the intestinal tract long
enough to do the work; requires a
smaller dosage, and, because there is
no excess oil, there is no leakage.
USOLINH oil is tasteless, color
less, odorless, effective. At all Drug
gigts. Three sizes: Soc; 81 90; $1.75.
