THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1930 RELIEF FROM C^RSE OF CONSTIPATION “RAINMAKERS” CAN’T MAKE RAIN A Battle Creek physician says,' “Constipation is responsible lor more! misery than any other cause,” | But immeoiaie reiiei has been found. A tablet called Rexall Order lies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the laiy colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a grentle, thorough, natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose. Stop ^"ffering from constipation. Chew a Kexall Orderlie at night. Next day brfght.
