one tablet at night. Keep patiently at it, and

finest liver stimulant ever discovered. Take 
a tablet at night and morning with copious 
draughts of water.

blotches, blackheads, are all caused 
by impure blood due to imperfect elimination 
of unless matter from the body. Persistent 
use of Cascarets in small doses, a quarter tab- 
let three or four times a day, will make the 
aomplexioa cioar and beautiful.

-.- - quarter to ixie-half tablet, accord- 
ing to age, at bedtime. Nursing mothers make 
their milk mildly purgative'for thi baby by

tating that Cascarets are well suited to

no matter where the seat of 
pain, Cascarets will afford relief. Eat one-half 
tablet three times a day.

tablet three times a day.

testines. with refuse which rots there and causes inflammation of the bowels, it is one of the most dangerous 
diseases, but never hurts those who keep their bowels clean with Cascarets, a tablet every night. 
BILIOUSNESS is can d by a lazy liver, which sends the bile into the blood instead of oiling the in- 
testines. The bowels become clogged and inflamed, while the blood is poisoned, making the skin yellow, the 
breath foul and the whole body feverl.-.h. Sink headaches and a dead feeling complete the misery Cascarets 
go at the can .e, make the liver lively and put the whole machinery in order, a tablet night and morning.

by a natural move.aent once every day and then a recurrence of the trouble. This condition usually heralds 
chronic constipation where there is no movement of the bowels for three or four days. Too much stress can- 
not be laid on the warning to get rid of con tipation at once. It generally is the cause and accompanies all 
disturbances of the stomach, liver and bowels, and all skin disea es. It often causes colic, chronic headache,

of severity, from the condition where only certain articles of food cause distress to a state where even the 
he mostintense agony and the plainest food is rejected from the stomach. If not taken 
in time this insidious- disease undermines the constitution, beats down the will and nervous powers, produces 
an emaciated and weak v itality, an 1 makes a hideous ruin of life. The symptoms are pains in the side, nausea, 
sometimes vomiting, misery after taking food, constipation, loss of appetite, dizziness and flatulence. Take

TORPID LIVER is the state the liver gets In when it fails to absorb the bile from the blood. The entire 
system becomes clogged with impure and poisonous matter which should be taken up by the liver, discharged 
into the intestines and thus discharged from the body. A sluggish, torpid liver often produces many 
serious and fatal diseases; it generally causes headache, foul breath, constipation and jaundice. Take one 
Cascaret after meals, or more if required.
