Health half of success Few men achieve their goal with out vitality and drive. And so many are held back from their best by a common ailment: constipation. It dulls energy, often causes head aches, sleeplessness. It takes the vim out of your day's work. Correct constipation by eating a delicious cereal. Laboratory tests show Kellogg's All-Bran supplies "bulk" to exercise the intestines, and vitamin B to tone the Intestinal tract. The "bulk" in All-Bran is similar to that of lettuce. Within the body, it becomes a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. How much better than using pills and drugs so often harmful. Twotablespoonfuls daily will cor-( recr, most types 01 constipation. II not relieved this way, see your doctor. , All -Bran also has iron for the blood. At all gro cers. In the red-and-green package.
