The Doctor Was Not Much Needod Ustil Folks Began to Break Natare's Laws. Doctors Freach Prevestion Is Better Thin Care. Ninety cent of all disease is preventable, so doctors say. Eat simple food, éxércise wisely, sleep stfficiently, and—what is vitally im- portant—make suré of the daily, regular, thorough eliminition of body waste, and the chances are nine to that you will keep well, work éfficiently and enjoy life. - Bowel elimination of food and tissue waste is all-important. But in case of ir- régularjty, disordered or imperfect action do not make thé common mis- take of taking harsh, violently acting medicines, with the idea of forcing the bowels to act. Nature believes in mild méthods. She responds best to persuagion. So in selecting a simple remedy to regulaté and assure proper bowel action, you should not use harsh or violently acting remedies, no nitter how much has been claimed for thém. You shotld choose some well- known, timeé tested, tridl proven remedy, that has made its reputation by being used for many years, b; all sérts of peosle, all over thé world. Take Beecham's Pills for example. Beecham’s .is & household word, has béen for fhany generations. Beech- am’s Pills is a household remmedy, hasbeen for over half a century. People not only take Beecham’s but recom- mend Beecham’s to their friends. Their use is handed down from father to son or from mother to daughter, from one generation to another.
