What Is the Oculist's First Question? BEFORE proceeding with the examination of your eyes he asks you, "Is your digestion good? Do your bowels move regularly?" The Oculist knows that eye strain is frequently caused by a disor dered stomach or by constipation. Any doctor will tell you the. same thing. Constipation throws the whole system out of gear. Us effects are felt almost immediately in biliousness, headaches, blurred vision, nervous 'depression, and other symptoms of auto-Intoxication. Laxatives and cathartics won't cure constipation. They irritate the bowels into action and give temporary relief, but at the expense of upsetting completely the normal processes of evacuation. A far safer and more effective means of restoring norma) , bowel movements is the mineral oil treatment, advocated and prescribed for years by eminent specialists both in this country and abroad. Nujol is the purest form of refined white mineral oil. . It is not a drug nor a bowej stimulant. It acts solely as a mechanical lubri cant, facilitating the passage of waste matter and helping to restore normal bowel activity. ' Nujol is odorless, colorless and tastetess. It is not absorbed by the system, hence may be taken in any quantity without harm. Write for booklet The Rational Treatment of Constipation." If jour drugg-iit hain't it. we will send a pint bottle of NUJOL prepaid to any point In United States oo receipt of 75c money order or stamps. 1.
