CONSTIPATION OFTEN
POISONS THE SYSTEM
NATURE HAS PROVIDED RELIEF

For every violation of her laws
nature cXacts a penalty; but she al
so has wisely provided relief
especially for the ailments of the
human system. Since constipation is
most common of ailments. Nature
endowed certain herbs, seeds, banks
ana leaves with laxative properties.
Larry settlers. dependent entirely up
on Nature, used the extracts from
these plants to relieve and correct
constipation conditions.
over Seventy years ago, an old
1ashloned Maine country doctor who
didn't believe in harsh cathartics
originated a prescription known as
Or. True's Elixir, the True Family
Laxative, which since has given re-
lief to many thousands of constipa-
ton sufferers.
The herbs used in its preparation
are imported and of strictly pure
quality; it helps to correct the cause
naturally and relieve it's attendant
evils: it purifies the bowels as It
cleanses.

cases where DIR. True's Elixir has
