Constipation is the root of nine-tenths of the sickness of man, and a large proportion of the sickness of women. Nature often requires a little assistance, and if this assistance is given at the
es first indication much distress and suffering may be averted. To maintain a healthy system the bowels should operate at least once every 24 hours. This is one of Nature's wise provisions which is too often ignored, and the result is untold suffering. Women and children are the greatest offenders, but Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a why such should be the case is a problem to be solved.
restore the system to health and remedy which, taken at the first indication, assist Nature to
rid strength, and avert the development of disease. Every ailment is the effort of Nature to get of some impurity in the system, and the object of medical treatment is to assist Nature in doing So. Dr. Morie's Indian Root Pills do this surely and thoroughly. To overcome constipation take one to four Pills regularly until the Bowels move daily, and are restored to healthy action.
