THE PEEWSH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily, or Is
fretful, 1t Is usually due to some slight
disorder OF the digestive organs, and
mild laxative IS very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfuIness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use Of a gentle,
effective laxative stimuiant is indi-
Gated. many Of the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
~ the perfect laxative, being mild. yet
positive in its action on the bowels.
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. It Is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy,
natural action makes 1t especially de-
sirable in the case of children, dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in sec and
800 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy. write to Dr. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington ST., Mon
tcello. Ill. for sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.
