Established 1859 Give Him A Fair Start (Mrs. Wilson is assisting at the daily rites performed before the altar of her grand-son. Master John Edward Phillips, Jr.) t?. i MRS. WILSON: Why, Molly, you don't give that poor little Srke a cathartic every day, oyou? MOLLY PHILLIPS: This isn't a cathartic, mother. It's Nujol. It was the only thing I could use while the baby was nursing, was terribly constipated, you know, just . after he was born. ' MRS. WILSON: Well, that's : to be expected, I guess. I V ; : remember the trouble I had .". ! . when you. were, born, dear. . MOLLY: Oh, mother, I was v ' in au?ushape. I tried every ; - thing. And everything fail- ed. , i All the laxatives and ! ' cathartics I was taking be gan to affect the baby. He : had. colic and lost weight. My milk really seemed to . poison him. Then the doctor ... :.; ordered theNujol treatment You know the body doesn't absorb Nuiol at all and con sequently Nujol doesn't af fect the milk, it passes smoothly along the intest ines, softening and clearing out the food waste as it goes; It was an ideal treat ment for my condition. MRS. WILSON: Does it work quickly? MOLLY: Noit depends on the individual It took me several days, but since then I've been regular as clock work That's one of the best things about it There's no griping, no violent action isn't it funny, mother, that some people don't feel they are getting results unless they get disturbance and rough treatment in the pro cess ! You would never know you had taken Nujol it's so gentle. It simply softens the contents of the bowels and prevents the drying out and collecting of poison matter in the 'colon' the large in testine. That's where al most all disease .breeds you know. . MRS. WILSON: How do you feel after taking it? MOLLY: Oh, nothing but good effects because there are no drugs in Nujol. That's why it can be taken reg ularly. You don't have to set aside a day to recover from it every time. MRS. WILSON: Do you give it to the baby regularly now? MOLLY: Yes, indeed, he's already started. Every baby -is born with a natural kink in his bowels it has to v straighten out naturally, arid . Nujol prevents any obstruc tion there. It rather helps1 Nature to help herself. The doctor approves, and this sample of the youngest gen eration is going to grow up,: thinking Nujol inside Is just as important as his morning" ; bath outside which it is. And mother, look here!
