And that’s the re. port on you. They say you're a hard worker, so I'd like to keep you on, reg- ular, for life.’ She lifted again. “ But—” he said. “ But,” she collapsed. “T don't see,” he said, “how you can work hard, regular, if you go on telling yourself that lie every hour, every day; that you're bad.” He got up, huffily. “ How bad are you, anyway? How good you been since— during the last five years?” “As good as I was before,” she Dazed, springing to her feet. “Um-m,” he calculated, Ill bet you are, and I'll bet that’s pretty good.

He will tell you to rid yourself of consti- pation You can’t cure constipation and auto-intoxication by dosing yourself with laxatives and cathartics, which frequently aggravate the condition they are meant to cure. The use of Nujol is a far safer and more effective means of keeping yourself free from constipation. Nujol is not a drug nor a bowel stimulant. It helps to restore the norma/ activity of the lower bowel by facilitating the action of the intestinal muscles. Most druggists carry Nujol, which is sold only in pint bottles packed in cartons bearing the Nujol trademark. If your druggist does not carry Nujol, accept no substitute.
