ACHING HEADS

Al
.Don’t let constipation ruin your
health. Read Mr. Davidson’s mes
aage of cheer: “Kellogg’s All-Bran
has sure been a godsend to me.
This is the first relief I have ever
had. Believe me, I will be a booster
:for Kellogg’s All-Bran as long as
I live!”—C. T. Davidson (address
■ -on request).
Common constipation may lead
to many diseases. Unpleasant breath,
blotchy complexions, spots before
the eyes—are only forerunners of
worse to come.
Conquer constipation with a de
licious, ready-to-eat cereal — Kel
logg’s All-Bran. Simply eat two
tablespoonfuls daily — in chronic
- -cases with every meal. Serve it
with milk or fruits. Cook into.ap
petizing muffins, breads, etc.
You’ll prefer this delightful nat
ural way instead of the artificial
action of pills and drugs. Buy
Kellogg’s All-Bran at your grocer’s.
Made and guaranteed by Kellogg
