NO CAUSE TO DOUBT ,
A Statement of Facts Backed by a
Strong Guarantee.
We guarantee immediate and
positive relief to all sufferers from
constipation. In every case where
our remedy fails to do this we will
return the money paid us for it
That's a frank statement of facts ,
and wa want you to substantiate
them at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just
like candy , and are particularly
prompt , and aggreeable in action ,
may be taken at any time , day or
night ; do not cause diarrhoea ,
nausea , griping , excessive looseness ,
or other undesirable effects. They
hav.e a very mild but positive action
upon the organs with which they
come in contact , apparently acting
as a regulative tonic upon the re
laxed muscular coat of the bowel ,
thus overcoming weakness , and aid
ing to restore the bowels to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies are unsurpass
able and ideal for the use of chil
dren , old folks and delicate persons.
We cannot too highly recommend
them to all sufferers from any form
of constipation and its attendant
evils. That's why we back our
faith in them with our promise of
money back if tbey do not give en
tire satisfaction. Three sizes : 12
tablets 10 cents , 36 tablets 25 cents
and 80 tablets 50 cents. Remem
ber , you can obtain Eexall Bemedies
