Generations have dosed themselves, year in and year out, with nauseating hot water cathartics, griping pills, etc., and now medical science has come to the rescue. For many years physicians have pre scribed three well known salts in the treatment of constipation, knowing from long experience how quickly they helped rheumatism, headache, back ache, disordered stomach, and the many other ailments caused by irregu lar habits. j These salts naye long, hard medical names and, until lately, it was difficult to get them in the right proportion without a prescription. To place them within the reach of everybody, to give all who suffer a chance to benefit, they have been placed in drug stores all over the coun try under the name of Sallnos (laxa tive salts). This la easy to say and easy to remember, Sally-Nos. Unlike the salts you have always hated to take, Sallnos actually tastes good, dissolves readily, even in cold water and gives to it a pleasing flavor. Hot water, which so many people can not take, isn't needed at all. Cold water does Just as well and every par ticle of the salts Is dissolved without leaving any sediment. . Gratifying results may be noticed from the first glass yon take. A few days' use invariably shows a greatly improved condition. The blood is purer, digestion is better and the gen eral tone of the body rapidly becomes normal. Try this simple, safe prepara- i tlon today and stop suffering. jj Dispensed by S Sherman MeConnell stores and all good druggists.
