What So Precious
AS a Healthy Baby?
Digestion If Gfpen q Good
Baby L0x0rfye:

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it Is fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
very highly recommended by great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle. and those who are al
ready convinced of its merits buy the
dollar size.
Its mildness makes 1t the ideal medi-
cine for children. and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of 1t is required and its frequent
use does not cause it to lose its ef-
feet, as is the case with SO many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation. Indigestion. bilious
ness. sick headaches. ETC.. among
them reliable people like Mrs. James
