Ever Wonder Why
You’re Constipated?
Do you ever have days when you
just have to drag yourself along,
when you feel tired, sunk-be-
' cause of that constipation? Then
why not find out the real cause
of your trouble?What have you had to eat
lately? Just things like meat,
bread and potatoes? If that’s it,
you may not have to look any
farther. It’s likely your trouble is
you don’t get enough “bulk.” And
“bulk” doesn’t mean a lob of food.
It means a kind of food that isn’t
consumed in the body, but leaves
a soft “bulky” mass in the intes
tines and aids elimination.
If “bulk” is what you lack, your
ticket is a dish of crisp crunchy
Kellogg’s All-Bran for breakfast
every day. It contains the “bulk”
you need plus Nature’s great in
testinal tonic, vitamin Bt.
Eat it every day, drink plenty
of water, and join the “regulars”! ^Made by Kellogg in London, Ont^
