THE EVILS OF
CONSTIPATION.;
Everyone Knows When He is Consti
pated and Everyone Should Know
the Risk He is Running When
He Fails to Promptly
Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to
Which He or She May be Exposed
is Sure to Result Seriously.
There are two ways to remove consti
pation; the wrong way is to drench the
bowels with a powerful, griping, drastic
cathartic that injures the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to use a natural,
easy and mild laxative that tones up and
strengthens the bowels and leaves a
healthful influence behind it. Prickly
Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just
as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics,
and combines all the tonic and strength
ening properties necessary to perma
nently cure the habit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having'
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 8 in red on the front label.
