Constipation.—ic Is said that three-fourths of the world’s sickness is due to constipation, a condition that might be largely corrected if people would be just to little more careful. If your bowels do not move freely each day, then your health may become affected, through poisons being accumulated in the system. Laxigen is a well tried and proven remedy for obstinate constipation, no matter how long standing. It is a vegetable preparation and contains nr drugs. It exerts a tonic action on the bowels and does not gripe or irritate, but restores them to healthy normal action. Price 2/6 a bot.t.le, from E. C. Ayres, M.P.S., Ph.C., Chemist, Tlmaru
