CONSTIPATION CUTS
DOWN YOUR ENERGY,
DULLS HAPPINESS

Don't let common constipation
take all the fun out of living. This
condition drains your vitality and
enthusiasm. 1t may also be the
cause of dull headaches, poor appe-
tite, sleeplessness. You feel punk.
Why endure half-sick days when
you can correct constipation due to
meals low in "bulk" by eating
delicious cereal?
Millions of people have used Kel-
logg's ALL-BRAN with satisfactory
results. Laboratory tests prove it's
safe and effective.
Within the body, ALL-BRAN alb
serbs twice its weight in water, and
gently cleanses the intestines. Isn't
this food better than taking weaken

Eat two tablespoonful daily.
Three times daily, in severe cases.
Serve as a cereal with milk or cream,
or in recipes. Sold by all grocers.
