I used to suffer a great deal from constipation, until some one told me about Kcllogg's Aix Bran. Since I have been eating this cereal, I have been cured of con- . stipation. . I heartily endorse it to any one suffering as I did.',' Mr, B. P. Pollard, Marion, N. C. Constipation is caused by lack of two things in the diet: "Bulk" to . exercise the intestines. Vitamin B 'to tone the intestinal tract. Labora tory tests show All-Bran provides both. At the same time, it supplies iron for the blood.' The "bulk" in All-Bran is simi lar to that of lettuce. Within the body, it forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Being a natural corrective All-Bran is not habit-forming. , How much better than risking pills and drugs so often harmful. Two tablespoonf uls daily will over come most types of constipation serious cases, with every meal. If frou have intestinal trouble not rc ieved this way, see your doctor. ; Serve All-Bran as a cereal with milk or creanij or use in cooking. . At all grocers in the red-and-green package.
