DON ’T GET . INTO i tho way of taking active’ cathartics. is true they mox-e the bowels, but in doing so they weaken the muscular action, and as time goes on a stronger dose is required. Chamberlain’s Tabßts do not create a habit, as they do not xveakon. Instead of this they strengthen lithe bowels to act naturally. Chamberlain's Tablets possess tonic properties that give relief xx'ithout any of the ban after effects which so often result from cathartics. Ab-chemists did storekeepers.—Advt.
