Chronic Constipation.

There are people who never
have a movement of the bowels
without it is produced by a ca
tharic. Most of them have
brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics
that take too much water out of
the system and aggravate the
disease they are meant to re-
lieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords a
gentle movement of the bowels
that you hardly realize has been
produced by a medicine, and
their use is not so likely to be
followed by constipation. ADV.
