Bowel trouble causes more aches and pains than all other diseases together, and when you get a good dose of bilicus bile coursing through the blood life’s a hell on earth. Millions of people are doctoring for chronic ailments that started with bad bowels, and they will never get better till the bowels are right. You know how it is—you neglect—get irregular—first suffer with a slight headache—bad taste in the mouth mornings, and general “all gone” feeling during the day—keep on going from bad to worse untill the suffering becomes awful, life loses its charms, and there is many a one that has been driven to suicidal relief. Educate your bowels with CASCARETS. Don’t neglect the slightest irregularity. See that you have one natural, easy movement cach day. CASCA- RETS tone the bowels—make them strong— and after you have used them once you will wonder why it is that you have ever been without them.
