This Gentler Way! 4
Many folks say that almost aa

cathartics and purges. Thafa
because many medicinal laxa
tives work this way: they either
prod the intestines into action
or draw moisture Into them from
other parts of the body.
Now comes news of a gentler
and pleasanter way of treating
constipation, for the mlUlona of
people with normal Intestines
whose trouble Is due to lack of ,
"bulk” In the diet. This way it by \
eating KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN,
a crisp, delicious cereal, and |
drinking plenty of water.

nal laxatives, acts principally on f
the contents of the colon and
helps you to have easy, normal
elimination. ALL-BRAN la made
by Kellogg's In Battle Creek. If
your condition Is not helped by
this simple treatment, better see

Don’t Neglect Them I
Nature designed the kidneya to do a
marvelous job. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living—Ufa
itself—is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneya must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function an
Nature intended, there ia retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dia
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffineaa
under the eyea—feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty or burning passage*
are sometimes further evidence of kid
ney or bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatmeaa
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneya
get rid of excess poisonous body wasta.
