Doctors Think
of the
Laxative Habit

What do YOU do when the bowels
need a little assistance? II you clear
up the condition with some laxative
made with CASCARA, there Is moth
ing better for the system-for the
blood.
But If you don't KNOW the laxa-
tive you have learned TO depend on II
Of harmless ~cascara, here's some
truly valuable advice:
The bark Of a tree called cascara is
the most marvellous conditioner man
kind has yet found. 1t stimulates the
bowels muscular action, but does
NOT weaken. A violent laxative
forms the laxative HABIT. You al
ways need more on the morrow. With
cascara, you don't. It's gentle influ-
ence carries on sometimes for days.
With less and less need OF any aid.
as time goes on.
So, the very next time you feel
sluggish, take only a candy cascaret.
