Best Medicos The best doctors in the world are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet and Dr, Merryman.—Jonathan Swift. To Check Constipation Get at Its Canse! If constipation has you down so you feel heavy, tired and dopey, it’s time you did something about it. And something more than just taking a physic! You should get at the cause of the trouble. If you eat the super-refined food most people eat, the chances are the difficulty is simple—you don’t get enough “bulk.” And “bulk” doesn’t mean heavy food. It’s a kind of food that isn’t con sumed in the body, but leaves a soft“bulky”mass in the intestines. If this common form of con stipation is your trouble, eat Kellogg’s All-Bran regularly, and drink plenty of water. All-Bran isn’t a medicine—it’s a crunchy, toasted cereal. And it will help you not only to get regular but to keep regular. Made by Kellogg’s in Battle Creek. If your condition is chronic, it is wise to consult a physician.
