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! "
MRS. WILSON: , Yes, Molly?
.MOLLY: See . how. well he
takes it!
