Start Your Baby
With Sound Health
Regular Bowel Movement From
Childhood on Forestalls Flu
ture Serious Diseases.

We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantages of money, but every child
bern is entitled TO the heritage of good
health. Through unfortunate ignor-
ance or carelessness in the feeding of
d baby It's tiny stomach may become
deranged. The disorder spreads to
the bowels and before mother realizes
it the two chief organs on which the
Infants comfort and health depend
are causing it great suffering Ii the
condition is allowed to continue grave
ailments often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing 10 do
but 1t should be done instantiy-is to
give the baby a small dose of a mild
laxative-tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
well known persons as the parents Of
Melvin Babler, Van Dyne, Wis, and
Mrs. Laura Highwarden, 10S Keeler
street, Jackson. Mich. the proper rem
edy is Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. 1t
is a pleasant tasting laxative, which
every person likes. 1t is mild. nom
gripping, and contains that most ex-
cellent Of all digestants. pepsin.
This remedy is specially intended
for infants, children, women, old people
and all others to whom harsh cathar-
tics, salt waters, pills. etc. are dis
tressing. In fact. in the common dis
eases Of life. such as constipation,
liver trouble, indigestion, biliousness,
headaches. and the various other dis
orders of the stomach, liver and bow
els, nothing is more suitable than this
mild laxative tonic, DR. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin.
