highly about them, About four years
ago, I commenced taking Fruit-e-
tives for a' general break -down mid
they did me a world of good. We
bought a good many dollar's worth,

they did all that you claim for them.
Their action is so pleasant, compared
with other laxatives, that I found only
pleasure, as well as health, in taking

particularly suited to women, on
account of their mild and gentle action,
and I trust that some other women
may start taking "Fruit-a-tives" after

satisfied the results will be the same
