The Handy Doctor in Your Vest Pocket

DTS a thin, round-cornered little Enamel Box— When carried In your vest pocket it means Health-Insurance. It contains Six Candy Tablets of pleasant taste, almost as pleasant as Chocolate. Each tablet is a working dose of Cascarets, which acts like Exercise on the Bowels and Liver. It will not purge, sicken, nor upset the Stomach. Because It is not a "Bile-driver,” like Salts, Sodium, Calomel, Jalap, Senna, nor Aperient Waters. Neither Is It like Castor Oil, Glycerine,, or other Oily Laxatives that simply lubricate the Intestines for transit of the food stopped up In them at that particular time. • A * The chief cause of Constipation and lndlgeitlon Is a weakness of the Muscles that contract the Intestines and Bowels. Cascareta. are practically to the Bowel Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath are to the Athletlo Muscles. They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to contract, expand, and squeeze the Digestive Juloesout of food eaten. They don't help the Bowels and Liver In such a way as to make them lean upon similar asslstanca’Tbr the futuri. This Is why, with Cascarets, the dose may be lessened each succeeding time Instead of Increased, as It must be with all other Cathartics and Laxatives- # e e Cascarets set Ijke exercise. If carried In your vest pocket, (or carried In My Lady’s Purse,) and eaten Just when you suspect you need one, you will never knowaslok day from the ordinary Ills of life. Because these Ills begin in the Bowels, , and pave the way for ail other diseases. "Vest Pocket" box 10 oe&ts. m Be sure you get the genuine, made only by the Sterling Remedy Company, and never sold In bulk. Every tablet stamped "CCC.”
