You Must \
Work Inside I M
| to Clean 1
Plugged
Drains
Constipation is
only a chronic
case of a plugged drainage sys
tem. Your bowels get coated
and weakened and finally all
plugged up with waste. It forces
acid poisons into the blood.
Makes you dull, dizzy and
groggy. Maybe you sleep and
maybe you don't anyhow
you don't feel any better. No
matter how many pills or ca
thartics you take —things keep
getting worse you've got to
clean out your bowels, relieve
your kidneys —strengthen your
digestive system, you've got
to keep them cleaned out and
working right.
Notox will do all of that
easily, gently and naturally.
Notox is Not Dope—it will not
rip nor tear, nor gripe nor
strain. Notox is for both sick
and well strengthens you up,
keeps you well. Take it every
day lt is absolutely harm
less. Aids digestion. Tastes
good, works fine.
Try NOTOX—start right nw—
stay with it for two weeks —a SOo
box is enough—and you'll *et a
new lease on life—any druggist will
supply you today.
