Onrao Laxative Fruit Syrup is a new
laxative syrup combined with the deli
eions flavor of fruits, and is very pleas
ant to tak. It will not gripe or sicken.
It is much more pleasant and effective
than Pills, Tablets and. Saline Waters,
as it does not -derange the) Stomach, "or
irritate the Kidneys, Liver or Bowels. M
!:: -.tf t- Constiir&ttofW' -
Omko Laxative Fruit Syrup will posi
tively cure ehronid constipation as it re
stores the natural action of the intestinal
tract. Ordinary cathartics may give tem
porary relief but the stomach is upset
and the bowels are irritated without any
permanent benefit having been derived.
The condition of the patient remains un
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated ana in ft lew
days a stronger purgative may have to be
taken. ; This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters' never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results in an unnat
ural movement of the bowels and it is nec
essary to- keep taking them indefinitely j
v Why ORINO Is different. :
"Ortjo Laxative Fruit syrup is the only
preparation that really acts upon all
of the digestive organs; Other prepar
ations act upon (the lower bowel only and
do not touch the Liver. It can very read
