THEY INJURE CHILDREN.
Ordinary Cathartics and mis and narsn
Physic Cause Distressing Complaints.
You cannot be over-careful In the selection
of medicine for children. Only the __
very gentlest bowel medicine should ever ?1
be given, except in emergency cases. Or- J
[ dinary pills, cathartics and purgatives are
apt to do more harm than good. They
cause griping, nausea and other distressing
after-effects that are frequently healthdestroying
and a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guarantee
Bexall Orderlies as the safest and most
dependable remedy for constipation and
associate bowel disorders. We have such
absolute faith in the virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of money
back in every Instance where it fails to give ?_
entire satisfaction, and we urge all in need
of such medicine ta try it at our risk.
Bexall Orderlies contain an entirely new <
ingredient which is odorless, tasteless and j
colorless. As an active agent, it embraces
the valuable Qualities of the best known
intestinal regulator tonics. ? Bexall
Orderlies are eaten like candy.
They are particularly prompt and agreeable
in action, may be taken at any time,
day or night; do not cause diarrhoea, nausea,
griping, excessive looseness or other
undesirable effects. They have a very natural
action upon the glands and organs
with which they come in contact, act as a
positive and regulative tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat of the bowel and its
dry mucous lining; remove irritation,over- ~W
come weakness, tone and strengthen the M~
nerves and muscles, and restore the bowels
and associate organs to more vigorous and
healthy activity.
Bexall Orderlies completely relieve constipation,
except when of a surgical character.
They also tend to overcome the necessity
of constantly taking laxatives to
keep the bowels in normal condition.
There is realiy no medicine for this purpose
so good as Rexall Orderlies, especially
for children, aged and delicate persons.
They are prepared In tablet form, In two Ml
sizes of packages: 12 tablets 10 cents, and \J
36 tablets 25 cents. Bememberyou can ob- v 1
