It is claimed that the first blow
wiich the bank received and
whies started it on the down
grade toward total failure, was

Nearly every one knows that
cascara is one of the best laxa
tives. Its extreme
bitterness

preparations of it but in our ex
perience as druggists we find
that too often the value of the
drug has been destroyed in mak
ing it eaBy to take.
Such is not thh case with
