the flames would spread to the east
ward as far as Durward's glen or
more This great tract was burned
over year after year, and when the
early settlers came they found the
bluffs comparatively bare. In the
early days the land was pastured. but
as the fences appeared this could not
be done as there is but little water.
This gave the tree plants a chance TO
grow. and the result is a fine tract Of
timber of hall century or more.

a Permanent Cure For
Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute it who
nave not tried 1t yet thousands of
otners. who speak from personal expert
ence, assert that there Is a permanent
cure for chronic constipation. Some
testlfy they were cured for as little as
nfty cents. years ago, and that the
trouble never came back on them, while
others admit they took several bottles
before steady cure was brought about.
The remedy referred to is DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t has been on
the market for over a quarter of a
century and has been popuiarized on its
merits, by ore person telling another.
The fact that its strongest supporters
are women and elderly people-the ones
most persistently constfpated-makes 1T
certain that the claims regarding ii as
permanent cure for constipation have
not been exaggerated.
It is not violent like cathartic pills,
salts or waters but operates gently.
