How to Cure

Well Known Family Physician Gives Good
Advice

when person cannot eat ordinary
food without discomfort afterward, when
he has heartburn sick headache, gas
on the stomach, water brash, belches up

ued for a week or more, it certainly Is
time to do something and do it quickly"
That's what popular physician recently
know you'll have dyspepsia if you DON'T"
said he.
The quickest and best way to regain
your normal condition is to step into the
drug store and buy a SOC bottle of Dr.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. 1t gives nat
ural, daily movements to the bowels, and
that is usually where more than half the
sweetens the stomach, acts on the liver
and is general system tonic. .
Postmaster Ridgill of Brucevile, Tex,
had such severe attack of dyspepsia
that his stomach, liver and bowels
seemed almost paralyzed, but few doses
of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin relieved him
and today he is we'll as ever. Maude Hall,
Alpena, Mich says that one bottle cured
l!er of very severe case of Indigestion.
y. l.. Espich Chief of Police, New Phil

wells Syrup Pepsin the best remedy for
indigestion I ever used. I would not be
without it, Rev. A. ]. Fletcher, Ruthe-

him of stomach trouble of 60 years stand
ing. Mrs. Matte Crouch, Tiptonville,
Tenn, cured her five months old baby of
indigestion with it, SO you see that while
it is so effective it will cure cases of
long standing of dyspepsia and constipa-
ton in old people, it is perfectly safe for
babies, and it is pleasant to take, and
does not pain or grippe.

6, 1909, aged II years, s months and 26

of his sickness until his death, bestow-
ing every kindness possible. Lynn was
an exemplary boy, loved by everyone,
and his presence will be greatly missed
by this community and more especially
by tie Christian Union Sunday school
of which he has been devoted member
all his life. To live close to Lynn and

served credit upon his parents who
have not only provided him with every
thing they could to make his life pleas
ant and happy. but taught him that
righteousness is the exalted principle
Of life. These are the thoughts that
came to us as we sat by his bed with
our hand upon his head:
| We watched his breathing through the night,
His breathing soft and low,
As in his breast the wave of life
Kept hearing to and fro.
| Our very hopes bclied our fears
| Our fears our hopes beled;
| We thought him dying when he slept,
| And sleeping when lie died.
| Then fell upon the house sudden gloom,
| A shadow Oh those features fair and thin;
| And softly, from that hushed and darkened room,
| Two angels issued, where but one went In.
