preparing to fulfill her highest dutymaternity The expectant mother must nourish two She must be able to get rid of a double waste Failure to do so poisons herself and the child that she is to bring into the world Constipation means more than mere failure to have a regular thorough bowel evacuation It means stagnation of waste matter in the bowels production of irritant and poisonous matter its absorption into the blood and distribution all over the body It means aggravation of all these discomforts that attend the period of pregnancy Itcontributestothe tragedies of child birth It prejudices the ability of the mother to nurse her child after it has been born And it is dangerous to employ pills castor oil purgative mineral waters aaltietc that force the bowels to act But the Treatment for Constipation is not only lesi but in every way efficient helps Nature to reestablish natural thorough bowel evacuation regular as clockwork la absolutely is not absorbed It cannot affect the child It
