KEEP BOWELS OPEN
During Cold Epidemics
When colds are all around you,
don’t let weak spots in your defense
arise due to constipation. “Keep
Regular,” many physicians advise.
For constipation and its strength
sapping symptoms; headache, bil
iousness, sluggishness, dizziness,
sour stomach, use a laxative that
acts thoroughly but not harshly. An
ideal one is Dr. Hitchcock’s All-
Vegetable Laxative Powder, which
acts thoroughly, but usually with
gentleness when taken as directed.
It contains pleasant - tasting aro
matics, carminatives and what is
known by medical authorities as a
gastro-intestinal tonic-laxative. It
helps tone sluggish bowel muscles.!
