than a year. it already faces extinc-

the crowded condition of the latter

How TO be Certain Of
Curing Constipation

Prejudice r. hard thing TO overcome.
but where health IS at stake and the
opinion Of thousands Of reliable people
differs from yours. prejudice then be-
comes your menace and you ought TO
lay 40 aside. This Is said in the inter-
est OF people suffering from chronic
constipation. and IL is worthy Of their
attention.
In the opinion OF legions OF reliable
American people the most stubborn
constipation imaginable can be cured
BY a brief use Of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup
pepsin. You may not have heard OF it
before, but do not doubt its merits on
that account, or because IL has not been
blatautly advertised. IL has sold very
successfully on word OF mouth recon-
mendaton. Parents are giving IL to
their children today who were given II
by their parents. and IL has been truth
fully said that more druggists use it
personally in their families than any
other Laxative.
