A Natural Remedy for Constipation. —There are many remedies for the relief of constipation on the market, the majority, however, are rather harsh in their action. A remedy which has proved of great benefit is Laxigen, prepared by E. C. Ayres, Ltd., chemists, Stafford, Street. This is prepared solely from roots and herbs, and it is more than a laxative—it is a tonic as well. It is gentle in its action and quickly restores the bowels to normal healthy action. Again as Laxigen contains no harmful drugs, it is non-habit-forming. Indigestion, pimples, bolls, stomach catarrh, biliousness, liver and kidney complaints, can also be relieved with Laxigen. Price 2/6 per bottle. E. C. Ayres, Ltd., chemists, 76 and 78 Stafford Street, Timaru
