A Remedy No Family
Should Do Without

No matter how healthy a human
being may be it is safe to say that
not many months are passed without
some obstruction Of the bowels, in
other words, constipation, even if only
temporary. The bloating, the dull
feeling may start after the evening
meal. If a laxative is not taken that
night it is certain that sleep will not
be sound, and you will awaken unre-
freshed.
Hence, it is important for you and
for all the members of your family
that a good, reliable laxative be al
ways kept in the house for just such
emergency. II is sure to be needed,
and when needed you want it at hand.
No family that is careful of its health
can do without such a remedy. But
the question Of which remedy to have
on hand is also of vast Importance.
The laxative most highly recon-
mended by the majority of intelligent
Americans as being best for babies
and grownups is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
