CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.

When the bowels are constipated
the lower bowels or large intestines
become packed with refuse matter,
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermiform ap-
pendix and set up inflammation, which
is commonly known as appendicitis.
Take Chamberlain Tablets when
needed and keep your bowels regular
and you have little to fear from ap-
pendicitis.-adv.
