MRS. B. ARMOUR, AT lantlo 9978. __ - --i Like your arm— your intestines grow weak without exercise —then disease begins YOU know how the muscles of your arms and legs get soft and flabby without exercise. Hidden in your body is another set of musclea—more vital to your health than almost any others— which suffer in exactly the same way. They are the muscles of the colon or large intestine. Like a set of powerful clamps The colon is like a piece of hol low tubing about four feet long. Into it drain the waste products of the body—dead cells, poison ous refuse, waste from food which the body cannot use. Unless this waste is gotten rid of regularly, it turns to deadly poisons which soak into the blood and flood your whole system. The muscles of the colon are nature’s provision for removing it. Like a set of powerful clamps, they contract in rapid succession and so force the con tents of the colon along and out of your system. How modem life weakens these muscles It is no exaggeration to say that the weakening of these musclea is the greatest single cause of disease and sickness today. The reason is simple: our bodies are built for coarse, raw foods which ex ercised these muscles and gave them real work to do. But modern civiliza tion demands a more delicate, con centrated diet—and as a result the intestinal muscles grow weak and flabby. That is why 6 out of every 10 Americans are suffering from consti pation today. That is the basic cause, doctors say, of half the ills which afflict us. And so the first thing that doctors want to know—no matter what you consult them for—is: Are your intestinal muscles acting regularly to free you of these poisons? What thii dots to the muscles of your arm, Fleischmann's Feast does to the muscles of your intestines— gives them normal, healthy exercise The simple food that is restoring health to thousands Drugs and cathartics will make the muscles contract, it is true, but they do it by nervous irritation. That is not exercise. Each time it happens, it leaves the muscles weaker than before. The only way to relieve constipa tion permanently is by exercising these muscles as nature intended. Everywhere physicians and hospi tals arc prescribing Fleischmann’s Yeast today—not as a medicine, but as a fresh corrective food which givm the intestinal muscle* regular, natural exercise. Every cake of Fleisehmana'e Yaast consists of milliona of tiny living plants, which mix with the watt* products in the colon, softening them and increasing the bulk of the waata. This greater bulk* gently encourages the muscles to act, and at the same time strengthens them by offering just the resistance they need. Your own physician will heartily endorse this principle of regularly ex ercising the intestinal muscles as thm only way to relieve constipation and all its evils. Fleischmann's Yeast is in no sense a purgative and does not produce im mediate violent action. It must be eaten regularly to se cure lasting results. I Eaf at least 2 or 3 cakes a day— plain or dissolved in water, milk or fruit juices—preferably half an hour before a meal, or the last thing at night. If you eat it plain, follow with a glass of water. Get several cakes at a time—they will keep in a cool, dry place for several days. Be sure you get Fleischmann’s Yeast. All grocers have it.
