True Secret of Keeping
Youthful Looking I
(The Beauty Seeker.)
"The real secret of keeping young-look
ing and beautiful," says a well-known
"is to keep the liver and bow
els normally active. Without these re
quisite®, poisonous waste products re
main in the system, polluting the blood
and lodging In various organs, tissues,
joints, one becomes flabby, obese, nerv
ous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrin
kled and sallow of face.
"But to get liver and bowels working ,
as they ought, without producing evil j
after-effects, has been the problem. For
tunately, there is a prescription of un
questioned merit, which may now be had
in convenient tablet form. Its value is
due largely to an ingredient derived from
the humble May apple, or its root, which
lias been called 'vegetable calomel' be
cause of its effectiveness—though of
course it is not to be classed wiih tha
real calomel of mercurial origin. There
is no habit-forming constituent in 'senta
nel' tablets—that's the name—and their
use is not followed by weakness or ex
haustion. On the contrary, these harm
less vegetable tablets tend to Impart
tone and elasticity to the relaxed intes
tinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may
be procured from any druggist—a dime's
worth will do—will prove a revelation to
any constipated, liver-troubled person."
C.Mef Cause of Pimples,
Blotches, Sallow Skin
(Messenger of Health.)
Unsightly eruptions, pimples, boil#,
blotches, sallow or muddy skin, usually
are due to a sluggish liver, a constipated
bowel—and a polluted blood stream as a.
consequence. How foolish in such cases
to re3ort to outward applications, which
can never have natural, permanent re
sults. If more people only knew It, thera
is a very simple remedy, to be found in
tiny drug store, which Is as effective as it
is harmless and quick acting. It Is an old
formula, long recognized by the medical
profession, which has been put in tablet
form, and at such small coat no one need
tirw be deprived of its wonderful bene
tus
"Sentanel tablets"—that's the name—
are entirely vegetable and there's no
habit-forming ingredient. You need only
get about a dime's worth, and swallow
one at bedtime to realize there's nothing
else quite so good for the purpose. Tha
action in the morning Is so easy, so sooth
ing, and Instead of a weakening after
effect. you feel truly refreshed and invig
orated. Sentanel tablets are not only
the finest remedy known for constipation
and torpid liver, but offer the sanest,
most sensible treatment for complexion
difficulties of the character mentioned.
Great Demand for New
Constipation Remedy
They say that the advent of the "senta
nel tablet" as a vegetable substitute for
calomel has resulted In an extraordinary
demand for this remarkable product. It
Beams to have made a hit particularly
with those afflicted with chronic consti
pation, who were quick to recognize Its
advantages over calomel and the usual
laxatives.
Sentanel tablets, aside from their effi
cacy, doubtless owe their success largely*
to a tendency to aid in bringing about
natural functioning—lnstead of encour
aging the "cathartic habit." Also, instead
of Injuring the membraneous lining of
the organs Involved, they exert a healing
Influence. Instead of weakening, they
add tone to the intestinal wall. And they
work so easily and gently, they are of
course preferred on this account to tha
violently acting purgatives. Their inex-
A'pensiveness is another reason for tha
popularity of sentanel tablets. One need
procure only a dime's worth, and take
one tablet upon retiring, to be convinced
that the ideal remedy for constipation,
torpid liver, and their many evil conse
quences, has Anally been found.—Drug
