You can avoid this kind of constipation by eating Kellogg’s All-Bran. This tasty cereal not only contains the intestinal tonic vitamin B„ but also provides the bulk you need. It absorbs moisture... softens like a sponge into a water-sof-tened mass that encourages and aids natural elimination. Use Kellogg’s All-Bran in muffins. Or as a breakfast cereal. But eat AllBran every day and drink plenty of water. Made by Kellogg at Battle Creek.
