The Wingham Advance-Times, 1938-12-01, Page 7Thursday, December 1, 1938 <---If s No Surprise That You’re Constipate J1 If constipation has you bogged down so you feel tired, sunk, all played out-it’s time you asked . yourself some questions! What have you had to eat lately? Just meat, bread* eggs, potatoes? It’s no surprise you’re constipated! The chances are you don’t get enough “bulk.” And •‘bulk” doesn’t mean a lot pf food. It’s* a kind of food that isn’t con- ’ sumeU ip the body, but leaves a soft “bulky” mass in the intes­ tines and helps a bowel move­ ment. If this is what you lack, your ticket is crisp,crunchy Kellogg’s All-Bran for breakfast every day. It contains the “bulk" you need plus Nature’s great intestinal tonic, vitamin Bv JEat AU-Bran every day, drink plenty of water, and take a new lease on life! All-Bran is made by Kellogg in London, Ontario, spld yjby every grocer. y Iwith Mrs. Dainty $4.80; Howick School Fair, Grant $15,00; Howick Agr. Society, Grant $1^5.00; E, A.
