RELIEF FROM CURSE
 OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Creek physician says, Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Orderlies has been discovered This tablet attracts water from the system into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle, thorough, natural movement without forming habit or ever increasing the dose.
 Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night. Next day bright Get 24 for 25c to- day at the nearest Rexall Drug Store. Willis B. Carroll.

these fakirs addresses from the
superintendent down, also the
grave diggers follow me around
insisting I buy a monument from
so and so.
I am told that one of these
fakirs received $500 in advance
on a monument. The parties had
him arrested, and before coming
to trial he committed suicide. =
am writing this for the bene-
fit Of those contemplating erect
ing a memorial, as at this time
of the year there are hundreds
Of this type going around fooling
the people.
There was a defunct firm that
was set out in the street, that
filled some of the cemeteries full
of this class of building stone
before the corporation got wise,
as they informed their prospects
that they were selling for the
cemetery corporation and these
fakirs' statements managed to fool
most the people who had bought
monuments from them.
Thanking you for informing
the public of these fakirs and
also of their misleading methods
employed.
