or muscle cells which, by their con-
traction, empty the colon just as
you would squeeze a rubber hose
or pipe. These muscle fibres should
contract three times a day-within
an hour after each meal. If they
do not contract they have lost their
tone-their power to contract.
But, there is a practically per-
feet remedy for lazy, fIabby colons.
This remedy quickly restores the
tone, is absolutely harmless and
decidedly pleasant to take. Clip
this article and take it to your drug
gist. Tell him to give you a bottle
of Colotone-the colon tonic. It
will cost you one dollar if you are
pleased with it, nothing if you are
not pleased with it, for every drug.
gist has been instructed to refund
the price and ask no questions if his
customer is not thoroughly salts
fled.
But you will be delighted with
Colotone for it will make you feel
like different person. Your eyes
will sparkle with vitality and alert
ness; your brain will be clear and
active; your complexion will be
fresh and transparent, rejecting the
purity of your blood; your digestion
will be thorough and your appetite
keen, for your food will taste de-
lightful and will agree with you:
you will sleep and awake refreshed;
your system will be full of vim
and vigor; you will feel younger,
stronger, vigorous you will enjoy
the pleasure of living.
Get started on Colotone today.
Nearly every person over twenty
five or thirty years of age and
many younger, need Colotone more
or less. You will be simply delighted
with it. Colotone cannot possibly
do you any harm-lt can only do
you good. Try it on our guarantee.

The Most Critical Part of Your
Anatomy and Physiology

You are a wise man or woman If
you understand your colon and keep
it in perfect working order. Health,
happiness, vigor and long life are
the gifts which an active colon gives
you-and a lazy colon takes away.
But, back to our question:
What is your colon; where is your
colon; why is your colon? Listen at
tentively for only a minute and you
may learn something that will add
twenty years to your life.
Your colon is the last five feet
of your digestive canal. 1t is your
sewerage system; your garbage can,
so to speak. Keep it clean and you
are we'll and happy; let it stagnate
and it will distill the poisons of
decay, fermentation (gas) and pu-
trefaction into your blood, poison
ing your brain and nerves so that
you are restless, irritable and blue;
poisoning your heart so that you
are weak. listless and lazy;
poisoning your lungs so that your
breath is heavy or foul; poisoning
your stomach and digestive or
cans so that you are bloated, belch-
1ng and uncomfortable with gas
pains; poisoning your blood so that
unhealthy; poisoning every part and
your skin looks yellow, sallow and
organ of your body. through your
blood, making you look and feel old
and ugly long before your time;
making your joints and your back
stiff and rheumatic, your eyes dull
and your brain sluggish.
BY the perfect law of Nature.
your colon should empty itself three
times day-within an hour after
eating. Does your colon work that
well? If not, it has lost its tone.
What do we mean by tone? Your
colon is a hollow muscle. Its walls
are made up of long. muscle fibres
You are wise man or woman if
you understand your colon and keep
it in perfect working order. Health,
