That way you don’t have to endure it first and try to "cure” it afterward—you can avoid having it. Chances are you won’t have to look far for the cause if you eat the super-refined foods most people do. Most likely you don’t get enough “bulk"! And “bulk” doesn’t mean a lot of food. It means a kind of food that isn’t consumed in the body, but leaves a soft “bulky” mass in the intestines. If this is what you lack, try crisp crunchy Kellogg’s All-Bran for breakfast. It contains just the “bulk” you need. Eat All-Bran often, drinkplenty of water, and “Join the Regulars.” Made by Kellogg’s inBattle Creek. If your condition is chronic, it Is ^wisc to consult a physician. RUINING I Have smooth, powerful brakes with easy pedal pressure.
