every WOMAN
FACES THIS QUESTION

How do I look to other people?
So many women risk their beauty
by neglect of constipation. It often
causes loss Of pep, sallow skins, dull
eyes, poor compilations.
. Yet common constipation can be
ended so easily. Just eat two table
spoonfuls of Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
with milk or fruits every day, three
times daily in severe cases. This
delicious ready-to-eat cereal sup
plies the ''bulk" needed to exercise
the system-and vitamin B to help
tone up the intestinal tract.
Within the body, AL1-BRAN alb
serbs more than twice its weight in
water, gently sponging out the in
testines. It never causes the arti-
fetal action of pills and drugs, that
often prove Ineffective.
Kellogg's AL1-BRAN, you see, is
q food-not a medicine. It relieves
common constipation the way Ma
ture intended so its results are
safe. Buy it at your grocer's. Made
and guaranteed By Kellogg in
Battle Creek.
