Isn’t This Why
You Are Constipated?
What do you eat for breakfast?
Coffee, toast, maybe some eggs?
What do you eat for lunch and
dinner? White bread, meat, pota
toes? It’s little wonder you’re con
stipated. You probably don't eat
enough "bulk." And "bulk"
doesn't mean the amount you
eat. It's a kind of food that forms
a soft "bulky” mass in the intes
tines and helps a movement. If
this is your trouble, may we sug
gest a crunchy toasted cereal
Kellogg’s All-Bran— for breakfast.
All-Bran is a natural food, not a
medicine - but It’s particularly
rich in "bulk.” Being so, it can
help you not only to get regular
but to keep regular. Eat All-Bran
regularly, and drink plenty of
water. Made by Kellogg’s In Battle
Creek. If your condition Is chron
ic, It is wise to consult a physician.
