For years chemists have labored to
overcome the only objection ever
raised to Podophyllin—the griping—
and at last have succeeded and otter
to the world a new formula called
"PoDolax” — “PoDo” from Podophyi
lin and "Lax,” meaning laxative or
gentle In action as contrasted with its
forYner cathartic or purging effect.
PoDoLax is good to taste and is
taken by children from a spoon or
glass without the usual resistance.
Best results are had by a single dose
when a bad taste, or bad breath, or
coated tongue are first noticed. Ask
for PoDoLax and be sure to g’et PoDo-
Lax.
