NOT cONSTIpATED
FOR Seven WEEKS
Writes Mrs. Johnson After
Using Kellogg's ALL-BRAN

Sufferers from constipation will
be interested in this unsolicited
letter:
"Yoar ALL-BRAN surely relieves
constipation. am so glad over the
good it has done me that | feel l
must write and tell you of it.
"For lunch take a banana,
large one. Six tablespoons of ALL
BRAN in a sauce dish, and dip
banana at each bite until all is
consumed. l haven't been consti-
pated now for seven weeks. Mrs.
Louise Johnson, 1893 Forest Street,
Denver, Colorado.
Constipation often causes head
aches, loss of appetite and energy,
sleeplessness. This condition is
usually due to lack Of ''bulk'' to ex-
ereise the intestines, and vitamin b
to further promote regular habits.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN has both, as
well as iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that in leafy vegetables. With
in the body, it forms a soft mass.
Gently, it clears out the wastes.
Try ALL-BRAN in place of patent
medicines - often harmful. Two
tablespoonfuls daily will overcome
most types of constipation. Chronic
cases, with each meal. If not re-
lieved this way, see your doctor.
Use as a cereal, or in cooking.
