Is This Your B11?
"The Sins of the Flesh" are punished in
this world -not in the next.
Disease is not an accident,nor is it sent
by Providence. It is Nature's punishment
for the breaking of her laws.
Hemorrhoids, for example, occasion an
infinite degree of discomfort, suffering and
misery. So does a fissure or a fistula.
But such punishments are meted out to those
who sin against Nature in two ways, by neglect-
ing to maintain regular, easy, thorough evacua-
tion of the bowels—who form the bad habit
of constipation—or what is s worse habit, the
taking of pills, castor oil. purgative mineral
waters, salts, etc , with the mistaken idea of
overcoming constipation by forcing the bowels to
move unnaturally.
But the Nujol Treatment for Cot)stipation
prevents such sins of the flesh, or mitigates the
punishment therefor.
Nujol helps to re-establish easy. regular,
thorough evacuation of the bowels.
Nujel is /lot a drug, does not act like any drug.
Nujol is absolutely harmless.
Nujol keeps the waste matter soft, moist and
easily voided.
Nejol is not absorbed, does not effect the body
—acts ns a mechanical lubricant, which can be
used for any length of tithe.

not ceased to dwell upon the strange

that he would return In three years.
In both cases plans went agley.
There were experiences that could
not have been reckoned upon in ad-

The Karluk was lost, and the party

that he would "turn rip." He did
