True Secret of Keeping* Youthful Looking (The Beauty Seeker.) “The real secret of keeping young-lookin? and beautiful,” says a well-known hygienist, “is to keep the liver and bowels normally active. Without these requisites, poisonous waste products remain in the system, polluting the blood and lodging in various organ , tissues, joints. becomes flabby, obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of face. “But to get liver and bowels working as they ought, without producing evil after-effects has been the problem. Fortunately, there is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had in convenient tablet form. Its value is due largely to an ingredient derived from the humble May apple, or its root, which has been called ‘vegetable calomel* because of its effectiveness —though, of course, it is not to be classed with the real calomel o» mercurial origin. There is no habit-forming constituent in ‘sentanel* tablets —that’s the ng me —and their use is not followed by weak? ness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist—a dime’s worth will do~will prove a revelation to any constipated, livertroubled person.”

| The Constipation Curse j Constipation - clogged bowels cause pain and sickness; 95 per cent of our ills, say the authorities. Sentanel Laxatives bring quick relief.
