Are You a Bolshevik?
Hullicvlsin is based upon
violence, relies upon force,
is deaf to right or reason.
To force the bowels to move
by taking castor oil, pills,
salts, mineral waters, etc.,
is to outrage Nature and
"bolshevik" the body. Be
cause drugs act by produ
cing irritation.
Castor oil, for instance, is so
obnoxious that the bowels
make frantic effort to get rid
of it. Other medicines, from
senna to salts, provoke ac
tion by causing the bowels
to try desperately to c.xpcl
them first.
With such remedies there
fore the removal of bowel
vastc is secondary and
wholly incidental. Hence,
the result is not to cure con
stipation, but on the con
trary, to make it worse,
more obstinate, harder to
overcome.
On the other hand, Nujol is
not a drug, does not act like
any drug, acts mechan
ically, not medicinally; tier
suades Nature instead of
forcing her.
Nujol supplies necessary
moisture to soften intestinal
contents and facilitate easy,
thorough evacuation at reg
ular intervals. Nujol makes
easier and more effective
the action of intestinal
muscles. Nujol absorbs
poisonous material.'
Nujol is free from any dele
terious after effects, forms
no bad habits, can be used
at any age, under any con
ditions, and overcomes con
stipation because it works
hand in hand with Nature
with her laws, not against
them.
Self-poisoning due to con
stipation causes over 90
of human illness. Get a
bottle of Nujol from your
druggist today, and send
