Native labor would have to be . employed for a number of days to dear a course twelve fniles in feftgth by 150 feet wide. “This plain stretches for 400 miles without even a shrub to >reak the monotony of .the landscape,” says Scott.

What Doctors Say

About the Laxative Habit

What do YOU do when the bowels need a little assistance? If you clear up the condition with some laxative made with CASCARA, there is nothing better for the system—for the blood But if you don’t KNOW the laxative you have learned to depend on is of harmless cascara, here’s some truly valuable advice: The bark of a tree called cascara is the most marvelous conditioner mankind has yet found. It stimulates the bowel’s muscular action, but does ,NOT weaken. A violent laxative forms the laxative HABIT. You always need more on the morrow. With cascara, you don’t. Its gentle influence carries on sometimes lor days. With less and less need of any aid, as time goes on. So, the very next time you feel

Delightful to the taste, sweet and acceptable to any stomach, and just as efficient as the powerful purges that fairly paralyze the peristaltic walls of one’s intestines. The only habit you’ll get from Cascarets Is the one of going weeks and months without ANY help of the kind. And when you do invoke their aid again, the same small dose suffices. Any doctor can tell you about cascara; and any druggist has the candy cascarets.—Advertisement.
