Questions The
 Doctor Asks
How Are Your Bowels? What Have
 You Been Eatinu?

Those are the first questions when the doctor visits sick person. He knows that the stomach and bowels more often than any other organ are responsible Tor sickness. Health cannot exist with disordered stomach and constipated bow els It is very easy to get them out of order but not always so simple to restore them to normal condition of health "un- less you know how Digestive tonics or medicines that only help digest the fcod will not cure stomach trouble, and pills and mineral waters that only physic you will not cure constipation. It re- ouires more than that. Dr. Caldwell s Syrup Pepsin will aid the stomach to di- gest the food and it will give the stom- ach muscles strength and it will pro- rnote in a perfectly natural way the proper and sufficient secretions of diges- tive juices so the stomach can do it's work without help from medicine. It acts at once on the bowels and empties them of the waste matter that has clogged up in them, but it does it in an easy, natural manner that does not pain or gripe. And it strengthens them and brings them up to a condition of nor nal, easy daily action that means good health to the entire body
 Step into the drug store and buy bottle. Druggists sell it at soc and $lOO a bottle. Many families will not keep house without it. It cures old people of constipation and indigestion of mary years standing, and is so safe and mild, yet effective, doctors recommend it for ba bies and delicate women.
 Eva J. Sweet, nurse, Soldiers Widows Home, Wilmington, H., writes: l take pleasure in adding my testimony as to the efficacy of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pep sin as used in our home. We use it in all cases constipation and indigestion.
 Pepsin Syrup Co, 324 Caldwell Bldg, Monticello, ILL, will send free sample to any one who ha snever used its and will give it a fair trial.
