IT TAKES
ALL-BRAN
TO RELIEVE
CONSTIPATION

More and more people r eating
bran for "health's sake" these days.
And it's a fine thing. But not every
body realizes what a difference there
is in so-called "brans." Doctors say
it takes 1000 bran to supply
enough roughage to relieve consti-
patton. Part-bran products, at best,
can only be partly effective.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Is 1909
bran. 1t furnishes roughage in
effective quantities-and in the
most effective form: cooked anc
krumbled. 1t does a work part-brar
products cannot hope to equal. Two
tablespoonfuls daily-chronic cases
with every meal-are guaranteed
to relieve constipation.
Serve ALL-BRAN often. With
milk or cream-fruits or honey
added. Be sure you get genuine
Kellogg's though-in the red-and-
green package. Use it in cooking.
Sprinkle into soups. ALL-BRAN
is sold by all grocers. Served every
where. Made by Kellogg in Battle
