Is This Your Bill?
"'I'lit' Sins of Hit Flesh" are punished in this
world not in the ne.l.
Disease is not an accident . nor is it sent,
by Providence. It is Nature's punishment
lor the breaking of her laws.
Hemorrhoids, for example, occasion an
infinite degree of discomfort, suffering and
misery. So does a fissure or a listuln.
Hut such punishments are meted out to
those who sin against Nature in two ways,
by neglecting to maintain regular, easy,
thorough evacuation of the bowels who
form the bad habit of constipation, or, what
is a worse habit, the taking of pills, castor
oil, purgathe mineral waters, salts, etc., with
the mistaken idea of overcoming constipation
by forcing the bowels to move unnaturally.
I5ut the Nujol Treatment for Constipation
prevents such sins of the flesh, or mitigates
the punishment thc.efor.
Nujol helps to re-establish easy, regular,
thorough evacuation of the bowel's.
Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any
drug.
Nujol is absolutely harmless.
Nujol keeps the waste matter soft, moist
and easily voided.
Nujol is not absorbed, does not affect the
body acts as a mechanical lubricant, which
can be used for any length of time.
