THE PEEVlSH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily, or Is
%tretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative Is very often all that Is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy Of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle.
effective laxative stimUlant Is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive in its action OF the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart.
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and IS an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. It's easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case Of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St, Mon
