DELICIOUS CEREAL OVERCOMES COMMON CONSTIPATION All-Bran Provides "Bulk," Vitamin B and Iron Kellogp's Ali.-Bran meets a basic need of the American dietary. It supplies "bulk" so helpful in cor recting common constipation. In eleven years, All-Bran ha3 won millions of satisfied users. New tests show added reasons for the success of All-Bran. Lab oratory experiments prove that, in addition to "bulk," it provides vita min B to help tone tho intestinal tract. Tho headaches, loss of appetite and energy that so often result from constipation can bo overcome by this pleasant cereal. How much bet ter than using pills and drugs. All-Bran is mild. Its "bulk" is much like that of lettuce. Within tho body, it absorbs moisture and forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Two tablcspoonfuls daily are suffi cient to overcome most types of con stipation. Chronic cases, with every meal. If not relieved this way, see your doctor.
