Why try to combat the trouble after it has already made you miser able? It may well be that your con stipation is caused by too little "bulk food” in your diet, for med ical science warns that lack of "bulk” is one of the commonest causes of constipation. If yours is this kind of con stipation, those purges and ca thartics can give you, at best only temporary relief. Eating KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN regu larly, on the other hand, corrects the cause by supplying the "bulk food” you lack and must have! Enjoy this crisp, crunchy cereal daily, drink plenty of water, and like so many others, you’ll “Join the Regulars”! ALL-BRAN is made by Kellogg’s in Battle Creek.
