If you’re wondering why your
bowels don’t work right,, . stop
and think about what you eat®
Bread, meat, eggs and potatoes,
AH good nourishing foods , . ,
but lacking in ‘'bulk” after the
digestive process. And you need
"bulk!” Food that gives the
bowels something to work on .. .
to help them move.
If it's this lack of “bulk"
that's causing your constipation,
Kellogg's All-Bran is just what
you need. After digestion a soft
mass remains which helps your
bowels move. In addition, All-
.Bran gives you Nature’s in
testinal tonic, vitamin Bi. Eat
this tasteful ready-to-eat cereal
every day, drink plenty of water,
and enjoy happier days. All
Bran is made by Kellogg in Lon
don, Can. Sold by every grocer.
