Mild Laxative
for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of
the future, and whether it grows up
healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence of its
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy, but thousands
become future weaklings between
birth and the age Of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control.
The prime cause of trouble is in the
stomach. A baby that is digesting its
food seldom cries and always looks cheer
full; the little child whose stomach is good
growing child learns well OF school md Is
eager for fun II its head is clear and its
stomach light. and that means If it has
no constipation.
The best and safest way to cure any
~irregularity Of the stomach and bowels
in children Is by the use OF DIR. Caldwelps
Syrup Pepsin. This is a LIQUID laxative
wonderful in its effect as Mrs. John w.
Durham, Apple Greek, o., Mrs. II. L.
cullam. Plainville, Ind, and numerous
others can testify who give ii to their
children with extraordinary results.
A bottle only costs 50 cents or 81 ac-
cording to the size you want, and even
one 50-cent bottle will do a wonderful
amount Of good in a family. 1t can be
given to any member Of the family In
constipation, sour stomach, Indigestion.
torpid liver, dyspepsia, heartburn, sick
headache and similar digestive troubles.
1t never gripes or strangles like pills,
tablets, salts and powders, which should
not be given to children. women or old
folks.
If you have a child or other member OF
the family who needs, but has never used
this grand laxative tonic, sen your name
and address to the doctor and a free trial
bottle will be sent to your home. In this
way you can find out what 1t will do
without personal expense.
