REGULARITY OF THE BOWELS

The First Line of Defence against Ill-Health.

Only about one man or woman in a hundred is perfectly healthy. The other 99 have some digestive trouble, and perhaps more than 50 per cent of these could trace their trouble to that evil-consupation. Its a simple thing of itself, but like many simple things, it may grow and become root of nine-tenths of the sickness of man, and a large proportion of complicated. Constipation is the the sickness of women. Nature often requires a little assistance, and if this assistance is given at the 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 men and children are the greatest offenders, but often ignored, and the result is untold suffering.

solved Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a why such should be the case is a problem to be remedy which, taken at the first indication, assist Nature to restore the system to health and strength, and avert the development of disease. Every ailment is the effort of Nature to get rid of some impurity in the system, and the object of medical treatment is to assist Nature in doing So, Dr.

orse'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.
