My little boy suffered from constipation, too, and didn't like the taste of castor oil. His teacher advised me to give him FEEN-A-MINT. He thought it was just nice chewing gum and took it without the usual fuss. It gave him such a prompt and complete movement that I chewed one myself. That was over a year ago and I want to tell you that FEEN-A-MINT has been a welcome friend in relieving constipation. 1 wouldn't have any other laxative in the house. Used by over 15,000,000 people Our files are full of letters telling what FEEN-AMINT does for people. Doctors know that FEENA-MINT does a more thorough job, and does it gently, because you must chew it — and chewing spreads the laxative evenly through the intestines so that more complete relief comes without straining and griping. Try FEEN-A-MINT yourself — you'll join the 15,000,000 people who are boosters for FEEN-A-MINT— 15 and 25f> at any druggist's. *?$£** lr\t^ 11 ju\cts MAD Itffc CLOGGY ^..A.*Wrt 3 ^fcU^ f 0fl UTTER *^/*rs Feen-ainiiit y%?
