Trail Women
 Aided Free

The woman who is by nature not
 robust cannot be too careful of her health. The foundation of all health IS in the stomach. Without good di- gestion the body is not nourished, and then soon becomes feeble and weak. In order to have good digestion reg ular bowel movement is absolutely necessary, and 1t is at this point that so many women neglect themselves.
 In any of these conditions you cannot do better than to take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the remedy that thousands of delicate women are using. It is the great family laxative. and in addition to it's patton and chronic indigestion it con- tains tonic properties that strengthen the stomach muscles so that in time they will work naturally again without the aid of medicine.
 Any druggist will sell you bottle for the small sum of 50 cents, though persons who have used the remedy before and know what it is buy the $1 size. Mrs Amanda Brannan, Of Alvarado, Va, who Is 6S and feeble, uses it regularly and speaks in the highest praise of it. Esther Pine, of Marion, Ind, is also an enthusiast of this wonderful remedy and she wished she had the fortune to tell the whole world about it. Both these ladies. as well as hundreds of others we could name. first became acquainted with pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin through the doctors offer to send any sufferer a free test bottle direct to the home.
 He will send you or any other sufferer a sample bottle free of charge on receipt of your name and address. It is won derfully effective in the stomach troubles period of menstruation and old folks, all of whom need a gentle laxative
