Pretty much all the kinds of people are already fighting in France. A few Approved by Harvey W.Wiley, Director of Good Househeeplog Barean of Pools, Savitation and Heats Splitting Headaches— For No Reason At All HESE puzzling headaches are due fre- quently to intestinal absorption of toxic substances (auto-intoxication) without appar- ent constipation. Nujol is particularly valuable in such cases, be- cause it has the property of absorbing and remov- ing intestinal toxins, besides giving safe and effective relief in most cases of periodic and chronic constipation, Nujol is not a purge nor a laxative. It acts in effect as a mechanical lubricant. It prevents the intestinal contents from becoming hard and so facilitates the normal processes of evacuation. Most druggists carry Nujol, which is sold only new strains, more or less, can hardly increase the sense of disturbance 2mong the spectators. in pint bottles packed in cartons bearing the Nujol trademark.
