Get at the Cause of Constipation! You know that constipation often gives you that dopey, sunken, bogged down feeling. Why not get at the cause and fix it? If you eat what most people do —things like bread, meat and potatoes-the chances are all < that’s the matter with you is you don’t get enough "bulk." And "bulk” doesn’t mean what you may think. It’s a kind of food that isn't entirely digested, but ‘ leaves a soft, bulky mass in the intestines that aids elimination. If this is your trouble, what you need is a dish of crisp, crunchy Kellogg’s All-Bran for breakfast every day. It contains the “bulk” you need, plus Nature's intestinal tonic vitamin B„ and iron. Eat All-Bran every day. drink plenty of water, and see if the old world doesn't look a lot brighter! All-Bran is made by Kellogg in Creek. Sold by every
