Here's Why:

Any hospital offers evidence of the
harm done by harsh laxatives that
drain the system, weaken the bowel
muscles, and in some cases even
affect the liver and kidneys.
A doctor will tell you that the
unwise choice of laxatives is a COM
mon cause of chronic constipation.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to the use OF laxatives
in liquid form. .. ~. a.. -.
A properly prepared liquid laxa-
tive brings a perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don't
have to take ga double dose" a day
or two later. "
In buying any laxative, always
read the label. Not the claims, but
the contents. If it contains one
doubtful drug, don't take it.
