Constipation
Most laxatives and cathartici af
ford only temporary relief and are
to be used only for that purpose.
When you want parmanent relief
take Chamberlain's Tablets and be
careful to observe the directions on
the package. These tablets not on
ly move the bowels, but improve
the appetite and streghten digestion.
