FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIvES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re
lief from constipation only ut the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found newer, better
way--a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of NuJol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not laxative
1t cannot grippe. 1t Is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water 1t Is
harmless and pleasant.
