Hamburg, 1876, rise of inches. 1t
is at these places that the danger OF

late this afternoon indicates that che

Growing Children
Need Good BOWsls
Give q Mild Laxative Occasionally to
Insure Regular Bowel
Action.

As a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func'
tons of the bowels are of the utmost
importance to health great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect OF
certain foods. A food will constipate
one and not another, and so we have
a healthy food like eggs causing bill
iousness to thousands, and a whole
some fruit like bananas c~onstipatlng
many. 1t is also to be considered
that the child is growing. and great
changes are taking place in the young
man or young woman. The system
has not yet settled itself to is later
routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given OTTER or
occasionally according to the individ'
ual circumstances, is DR.. CaldWelPs
Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that it is CIV
en- to little babies, and yet equally ef-
fective in the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign of a tendency
to constipation give a small dose OF
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring,
and prompt action will follow in the
morning. 1t not only acts on the
stomach and bowels. but its tonic
properties build up and strengthen
the system generally, which is an
opinion shared by the parents Of YES
