CONSTIPATION. Laxigen is a tonic laxative, and gentle aperient. It is particularly valuable, because it can be taken every night if necessary, as it cannot possibly do any harm, because it contains no drugs. It restores the bowels to healthy, normal action, and is the best remedy known for habitual constipation. It has also a gentle stimulating action on the liver. Recourse may be had to this medicine, when the bowels or liver are deranged, as evidenced by giddiness, headache., drowsiness, furred tongue and impure breath.
