Laxatives Aggravate Constipation Laxatives and cathartics do not overcome "Keep Clean butde" Sag Phyiuem. constipation, says a noted authority, but by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition and often lead to permanent injury. Why Physicians Favor Lubrication Medical science, through knowledge of the intestinal tract gained by observation, has found at last in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle lubneant, Nujol, penetrates and aoftena the hard food waste and thus hastena its passage out of the body. Thus Nujol brings internal cleanliness. Nujol ia used in leading hospitals and is prescribed by physicians throughout the world. Nujol ia not a medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water it is harmless. Get rid of constipation and avoid disease by adopting the habit of internal cleanliness. Take Nujol as regularly as you brush your teeth or wash your face. For sale by all druggists.
