FOR MANY, There IS A BETTER way TO CORRECT
COMMON CAUSE OF CONSTIPATION! WITHOUT HARSH
puRcATIvES! WITH A NATURAL, "RECUlATINc'' FOOD!

THERE'S the best news in years for
II thousands of "disappointed
dosers." A way to freedom from de-
pendence on harsh, unpleasant purga-
tives and cathartics-with their lack of
lasting relief! It's natural way! One
that doesn't rob the system of water
one that doesn't act by "sweeping you
out"-or give you the looseness which
is often associated with laxative oils!
Scientists say one common cause OF
constipation is lack of sufficient "cellu-
losic" elements in the diet! And Nature
has made KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN one of
the most effective sources of these
regulating" which help the
friendly colonic fora tighten and fluff
Evening star., 1943-10-10

up the colonic wastes for easy, natural
elimination!
Eat this gentle-actingf food, KELLooG's
ALL-BRAN, regularly. Drink plenty of
water. For variety, try ALL-BRAN with
milk and fruit, sprinkled on other
cereals, in mullins, etc. If you have
suffered from this type of constipa-
ton, see if you don't cheer the day you
found this way to real relief! Insist
on fenuine ALL-BRAN, made only by
Kellogg's in Battle Creek. (H ALL-BRAN
does not help you, see your doctor.)
