Reser i. > SN GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY The key to health in old age is the prevention of bowel disorder. Constipation, which becomes more and more chronic with advancing years, frequently makes the burden of old age seem heavy indeed. Yet in most cases constipation can be entirely prevented by a little care in the matter ot diet and by supplying in Nujol an efficient substitute for the mucus which exhaust- ed nature no longer provides, Nujol is not a bowel stimu- lant. It acts as an internal lubricant, softening the con- tents of the intestines and so promoting normal evacu- ations. Your druggist has Nujol. Avoid substitutes. Nujol is sold only in pint bottles bear- ing the Nujol trademark.
