, AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause:
1
Injury to the Bowels
j f you are subject to coustipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give tem
porary lelief and their reaction is
frarmful and sometiems more annoy
ing than-constipati n. They in no
way effect a cure and their tendency
is to weaken the already weak
organs with which they come in
contact.
We honestly believe; the we have
the best constipation treatment
ever levised. Our faith in it so
strong that we bell yt ua the poaitive
guarantee that it shall not ccst the
user a cent if it does not give entire
satisfaction an J completely letficdy
constipetiou. This preparation is
called liexall Orderlies. The«:
are prouipt, soothing, and most
effective in action. They are made
of a recent chemical discovery.
Their principal ingredient is odor
less, tasteltsp, and colorless. Com
bined with other well-kuovvn
ingredients long established for
their usefulness in the treatment os
constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy.
They may be taken at anv lime,
either day or night, without feu
of their causing any inconvenience
whatever. They do not gripe,
purge, nor case nnnsea. They act
with causing auy pain or excessive
looseness of the bowels. They are
ideal for children, weak, delicate
persons, and aged people, as wv!!
as for the mo*t hearty person.
They pome in three sizes
packegas. 12 tablets, 10 cents; 36
tiblets, 25 cents; 80 tablets, .50
cents. R«em tnber, you can obtain
themouiy at our store —The Re/.tll

effective prem destroyers ever
discovered by science? aud in
connection with Beta Napthol,
which is both gcrpiicidal and (
autisrytic, a combination is formed
which destroys germs which robj
the lair of its natural nourishment, ]
aud also creates a clean, healthy i
condition of the sculp, which prevnts
th: development of ntw germs.
Pilccarpin, although not a color
ing matter or d«e is a well-known
ingredient for restoring the hair to
its natural color, when the loss of
hair has been caused by a disease

a stimulant and for its well-defined
[nourishing properties, perfect per
jhaps the most effective remedy that

troubles.

j will positively cure baldness, or we
