"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. ret Nnjol from your druggist. Take Nn)oI • .rding to directit:us.
