ALL-BRAN STOPPED HIS SLEEPLESSNESS AND TIRED FEELING Cereal Relieved Hi3 Consti pation Read this enthusiastic letter from Mr. Haraden: “My system had been run down for quite some time. About three weeks ago, 1 started taking All Bran for breakfast. I had been un able to sleep nights, but now all I have to do is turn in, and before I &now it, I am fast asleep. “I used to have a tired feeling all jay, but now that All-Bran is in my home to stay, there will be no more tired feelings with me.”—Mr. Carl Haraden, Main Street, Hamil ion, Massachusetts. Science says that All-Bran pro vides “bulk” to exercise the intes tines, and vitamin B to help tone the intestinal tract. Also iron for the blood. The “bulk** in All-Bran is much like that of lettuce. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, this clears out the intestinal wastes. Isn’t this safer than taking pills and drugs—often harmful! Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily for most types of constipation. If not relieved this way, see your doctor, j Sold in the Ted-and-zreen pack age. Atall srrcecrs.
