Oper-Night Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy BY Morning

It is only natural that the simplest
Of ailments should be the most gen.
eral, and SO we have whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion. for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation Is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
1t. They will complain Of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious Of the cause of the trouble.
You should have full and free
movement at least once day. fyou
pass day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take
dose Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any Inconvenience.
Legions Of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr.. A. B. Danner, 326 Riley St., Har-
risburg, Pa, says: "Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trou-

Helping the Little Fellow.

The United Shoe Machinery Com
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation Of shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average of less than 2 22-3 cents pair
and let us keep them up to date.
That Is fair arrangement. Some Of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fel-
lows stand with US because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
II it were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories in small towns.
