HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close.
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy. regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover Its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach. liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.

wells Syrup Pepsin in soc aud s1.00
