What Doctors Think
of the
Laxative Habit

IN All history. no Indian was ever
known To have constipation. Nor need
you. He chewed the bark Of a tree
called cascara. Today, we have the
candy Cascaret.
Cascarizing the bowels eve forms
a laxative habit. IL already formed.
an occasional Cascaret will usually
break the habit. For cascara strength
ems the muscular walls Of the bowels.
and their need Of any aid at all grows
constantly less. What other cathar-
tic has this characteristic? The
writer knows Of none.
An evacuation brought gently about
by cascara will, nine times in ten. be
followed by full functioning Of the
bowels on the morrow-and for days
after. For there is no REACTION as
with siekening purgatives that go
through ones system like a bullet.
Physicians tell us cascars is the
ideal laxative-and the tongue tells
as candy Cascarets are its ideal form.
