IRRITABLE?
Perhaps this is the Reason Whya
If you find yourself irritable and short-tempered for no real reason,. suspect constipation and see what a dose of Pinkettes will do to correct the trouble..
Even partial constipation allows poisons to escape into the system, causing liverishness, loss of vitality, poor appetite, coated tongue, pimply skin, bad breath. Pinkettes, dainty laxative pills, ensure complete evacua- tlon; they are non-habit-forming and may be used whenever required with the most beneficial effects: Obtainable at all chemists,.
