Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here IS a Simple W0y of Cor.
recting it Instantly Before
IL Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled With constipation. Thousands
inture themselves by the use Of
strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
ters. pills and similar things. They
have temporary value In some cases.
1t is true. but the good effect is soon
lost. and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative ia seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained
by using a scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what 1t Is represented to be.
mild laxative medicine. It is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
1t to tiny infants, and yet it is SO COM
pounded, and contains such definite
ingredients that 1t will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact. among the great
est endorsers Of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those OF Mrs. G. B.
Pruitt, Berea. KY, who used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin as a laxative
tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that 1t SO
strengthened and cleansed her system
that she was quickly relieved of a Sc
we're cough which had troubled her
for months. The special value of this
grand laxative tonic is that 1t is suit.

PELLAGRA SPREAD
CAUSES ANXIETY
HATTlEsBURG-No SPECIFIC
REMEDY FOR DISEASE.

Several cases of Pellagra have been
reported as existing in this city and
much anxiety has been developed for
fear that the disease is by no means
confined
The city commissioners have recent
ly been trying to learn from the local
physicians something as to whether
or not the situation can be handled by
them so as to prevent it's further de-
velopment or restrict its spread
1t is reported that in one white fami-
ly where the mother recently died of
pellagra there are now six other cases.
The disease is also known to be pre-
vailing in one negro family The dis
ease of pellagra is one about which
doctors differ and so far no specific
remedy has been discovered.
In discussing the matter with one
physician the opinion was frankly ex-
pressed that pellagra is infectious,
which is equivalent to saying that it is
communicable through the air or in
water, or by the use of towel or a
drinking vessel that a pellagra patient
has used.
if the disease is infectious it is be-
lieved by many that its existence in
the community demands that steps
looking to the prevention of its spread
should be taken. Several physicians
have reported to the city commission
that they have cases under treatment
and they are effecting cures.
The fact that the disease is spread
ing at an alarming rate in almost every
county in Mississippi has attracted the
attention of the National Board of
Hath and will doubtless result in the
situation in this city receiving early at
tention from the expert who is coming
to this state from Washington.
