II Means Health
For the Child

The careful mother. who watches close
ly the physical peculiarities of her chill
dren, will soon discover that the most
important thing in connection with
child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
tite, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
AT the first sign Of such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful Of DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night If
necessary-rnore than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover it's accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast Improvement

too powerful for a child. The homes Of

Dr. CaldWell's Syrup Pepsin, and with
them, as with thousands of others, there
is no substitute for this grand laxative.
It is really more than a laxative, for it
contains superior tonic properties which
help to tone and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels SO that after a brief
