Don't let constipation wear you out. Combat it with this modern chew- ing gum laxative To correct constipation you must first know that the way you take u laxative is fully as important as the kind of laxative you take. All laxa- ives will vary in effcctiveness unless cvery particle can be made to work. Feen-a-mint, the original chewing gum laxative, was prepared to insure uniform “internal distribution,” which is now known to be so im- portant in the operation of a laxa- tive. Because you chew Feen-a-mint it is effective in milder doses than or- dinary laxatives. Ior the effective- ness of a laxative is not so much dependent upon the quantity swal- lowed as upon the thoroughness of its distribution throughout the ali- mentary tract. ‘While you chew this delicious bit of gum the tasteless laxative it con- tains is gradually released and mixed with the saliva. Thus it is carried to the intestinal tract smoothly, even- ly, without shock to the system or the distressing after-cffects so com- mon with old-fashioned laxatives. Iach particle of the laxative in | Feen-a-mint works with utmos ciency, gently encouraging the ine testinal muscles to resume the ac- tivity so necessary for healthful climination. The action of Feen-a-mint is thorough, gentle, dependable. With the proper dosage, it is mot neces- ary to incrcase the amount of een-a-mint you take nor to switch to another laxative for a change. Feen-a-mint is harmless and con- tains no habit-forming drugs. Truly the health laxative, Ask for a pack- age at any drug store.—Adv. | | ———|“Safest Ride in Town” | —— | of their destination.
