Constipation and
Heat Often Fatal
Regularity of Bowels Very I'm
portant to Health at This Time

+ AT no time of the year should people be
more careful of the condition of their
bowels than in hot weather. Many things
may cause constipation in summer, but
whatever it may be the trouble should be
promptly remedied. A constipated person
lays himself or herself open to serious
and often fatal diseases. That feeling of
congestion, lassitude or dull headache is
the first warning of trouble.
Don't try to remedy it by the excessive
eating of fruit, which usually has laxa-
tive effect but lacks action in extreme
cases. What is needed is a reliable but
mild laxative tonic like DR.. Caldwell $
Syrup Pepsin. Take dose of it at night
before retiring-it is pleasant tasing and
free from griping-and by morning your
bowels will be emptied and your head
clear. You will feel energetic again.
You cannot obtain such results with
cathartics. purgatives, salts, or pills. as,
unlike Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. they
are without tonic value and entirely too
harsh. Among the thousands of depend
able converts to Syrup Pepsin are the
families of Mr.. F. c. Harris, Live Oak.

PRODUCTION.
Quoted from Bishop Mccoy is the fol-
lowing:
These 70 short chapters bear noble
testimony God still honors his ministry.
The gospel continues the power of God
unto salvation. The Holy Spirit yet con-
victs and regenerates. And the recital of
these marvels of divine grace will serve
to strengthen the faith of thousands who
read the story.
THE first great duty of the church is the
salvation of the people. Recreancy to this
primary purpose of its foundation can
never. be atoned for by the substitution
of programmes of social and philanthropic
effort. The history of the church that
ceases to seek and to save the lost will
be record of decreasing spiritual power
and of diminishing influence In shaping

Mr.. Bacheler is famous for his clever

1t is quite as clever as keeping Up

The heroine is a girl editor and she's

1t is by long odds the most delightful

note must not be lost from the Methodist
pulpit While striving to cultivate a so

preach a gospel that will bring the indi-

must make salvation an intensely per-

sin and led to repentance and conversion.
