Cleans Inside, and Pores Free from Any Taint All the trick laxatives in the world can’t tempt people who understand the properties of cascara. A hundred different drugs will purge |’ the bowels, but a little natural cascara purifies the system clear through. Cleanses even the pores of your skin. Renders perspiration as inoffensive as so much dew! Your grandparents took “salts,” and slowly washed away the mucous mem- brane with the waste! Mineral oils are better, but they leave the coating that your blood must then carry off through the pores. But when you cascarize the system, you get rid of all the poisons by normal muscular action of the bowels. Don't get in the habit of taking medi- >ine for constipation—or even for auto- intoxication. If you have the habit, stop it. A candy cascaret is a delightful form in which to take cascara: children love them and the taste tempts most grown-ups to take “more.” And what a comfort to know you are in that clean, wholesome condition that does away with any need of deodorants, even in the warmest weather! Try a cascaret tonight! All druggists, 10c and 25c. Son ““Ihe Store of Delightful Gifts " . F- STREET ¢ ELEVENTH .
