FREEDOM FROM LAXATIVES Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced Them. An inestimable amount of injury, ac cording to an eminent medical author ity, is done by the use of pills and salts, as most of these provide only temporary relief at the expense of per manent injury. Science has found a newer, better way; a means as simple as Nature it self. In perfect health, a natural lubricant keeps the food waste soft. Thus it is easily eliminated, but when constipa tion exists, this natural lubricant is not sufficient. To find something to take the place of this natural lubricant, medical au thorities have conducted exhaustive re search. They have discovered that the gentle, lubricating action of Nujol most closely resembles that of Nature’s own lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative, it cannot gripe. It is not a medicine in any sense of the word, and, like pure water, it is harmless.
