Health
You must be free from constipa
tion to have a good, clear complex
ion.
If not eliminated in due time, the
wastes of digestion produce poisons
and the skin must do more than Its
share in helping to get rid of them.'
So for a clear, healthy skin, re
; member the importance of bowel
regularity. At the first sign of con
stipation, take Black-Draught — the
purely vegetable laxative. It brings
such refreshing relief from ordinary
constipation troubles, and tends to
leave the bowels acting regularly
until some fu
ture disturb
ance Interferes.
Insist on
Black-Draught.
