PSYLLIUM OVATA—The Nation’s Health Regulator 
Psyllium is a seed not intended for culture in this 
country—it is a native of India, but it is of greatest 
importance to your general health. Psyllium is a natural 
aid in the treatment of constipation, and a safe, harm¬ 
less, non-habit forming regulator. 
This seed owes its special value to its ability to sup¬ 
ply both bulk and lubrication needed for sufficient bowel 
action. It gives off a gelatinous oil which produces a 
mild, efficient intestinal lubrication. 
The seeds are taken with the meal as an accessory 
food in the diet. Leading physicians recommend Psyllium 
and it is rapidly becoming nationally known. 
By direct importation we are in position to quote 
an exceptionally low price, so that all of our customers 
may keep Psyllium on hand constantly.

thority Has To Say Regarding Blond Psyllium Ovata

We offer triple recleaned, sterilized seed. 
Price: 12-oz. pkg. 35c, 3 lbs. for 85c, 5 lbs., sufficient
