Good Advice
About Constipation!
A doctor would tell you that the
best, thing to do with any ailment
is to get at its cause, It you’re
Constipated, don't fiddle with
makeshift remedies. Find out
what’s giving you the trouble!
Chances are you won’t have to
look very far, if you eat just the
things most people do. Most like
ly, you don’t get enough “bulk”!
And “bulk” doesn’t mean just a
lot of food. It means a kind of
food that isn’t consumed in the
body, but leaves a soft ’’bulky”
mass in the intestines and helps
a bowel movement.
If this is what you lack, your
ticket is crisp crunchy Kellogg’s
All-Bran for breakfast. It con
tains the “bulk” you need plus
the intestinal tonic, vitamin Bj.
Eat it every day, drink plenty
of water, and join the “regulars”!
All-Bran is made by Kellogg in
