Everyman is a fighter, though he may not be a pugilist. His daily task is his fight and he needs to be fit and ready for it. Constipation to the business fighter is the "out-p&con- . dition" of the pugilist. Constipation not only makes the business fighter dull and slow, and unfit for effort, but it is the "lowered guard" that leaves the opening . for the jarring blows of serious disease. By an entirely new principle Nujol keeps the poison ous food waste moving out of the body. Every other form of treatment either irritates or forces the system. Nujol works on the waste matter instead of on the system. Nujol prevents constipation by keeping the food waste soft, thus helping Nature establish easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals the healthiest habit in the world. If is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take try it. Nujol is sold by all druggists in sealed bottles only.jhearing Nujol trade-mark. Write Nujol Laboratories, StandardaOiljPo.
