One WAY OF SAVING
A BABY-FREE TO TRY

The mother does not live who
would not do all in her power to keep
her child healthy, but often she does
not know how. So when a doctor
of standing points the way all can
afford to listen.
II is an accepted fact that nine out
OF ten of the troubles of infants and
children is intestinal. You notice it
by the fact that the child is consti-
pated, it belches, is peevish and cries.
Don't give remedy that contains an
opiate, because the child will get in
the habit of needing it, and don't be-
come alarmed and run at once for a
doctor.
Try scientific laxative first. Give
a small dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, the remedy that is intended
Pocahontas star herald., 1911-05-05

for the use of children. It is mid.
gentle and non-griping. The remedy
is absolutely pure and is guaranteed
in every particular. Mrs. Toomey of
Emingsville, Pa, and Mrs. Fred
Croms of Alanson, Mich, never give
their children anything else. These
are only few among thousands of
women.
You can buy a fifty cent or one
dollar bottle of airy nearby druggist,
for they have all sold it for a genera
tion, but if you want to test it on your
child first send your address to DR..
Caldwell and he, will cheerfully send
you free sample bottle.
