Saturday in the home of her son, DR..

afternoon was enjoyed, but the surprise
came later, when the Woman's club, of
which Mrs. Fay is an honorary member,
arrived in a body. a short literary and
musical program was rendered, and Mrs.
Fay was presented with a beautiful
souvenir gift book in which each mem
Der of the Woman's club occupied a page

The Great Family Constipation Cure.

What do you do when constipated? If the head

an emergency? These questions are important:
Constipation is very serious disorder, because it
gives rise to troubles like skin disease, rheumatism,
etc Also, the responsibility of directing the ply
steal welfare of family is grave one, and it is
important that you should know what to do in the
little emergencies of life. Perhaps you have tried
purgatveS and cathartcs and aperent waters and
know by this time that they are too violent in their
action for the average person and that at best they
do but temporary good You will never get perma-
nent results from anything but liquid laxative
tonic. A mere liquid laxative will not do it, but a
laxative and tonic combined, like DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin, not only cures the constipation in
gradual, gentle way but builds up and strengthens
the stomach muscles that they can again do their
own work. 1t is a truly wonderful laxative tonic,
pure, as atteSted to the Government, and so sure
in permanent results as to win the friendship of
thousands of American families, to whom it is the
