hausts of her new engines will come
from the old hull. Hanley made
decided efforts to get the Teaser hull
from the owners in Quincy but failed.

thing that forced itself on his mind
was the urgent need of the human
body for something that would scien-
tifcally regulate the digestive or
gans-the stomach, liver and bowels
These years of study developed Dr.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. now recognized
as the national safeguard of health in
thousands OF good American homes. For
twenty years it has been gaining friends.
Tor II is today, as ii always has been. the
best laxative tonic for women, children
and old folks. for these especially need a
gentle safe laxative tonic that is sure in
results and does not grippe.
1t is because the doctor has watched its
good work for all these years and believes
in the merit of his remedy that he offers
to send a free trial bottle at his own ex-
penSe to anyone who writes him. You
have simply to send your name and adj
dress. On the strength of what these
free trial bottles have done-and thou
