Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here is a Simple Way of
Correcting it Instantly
Before it Becomes
Chronic.

Very few people go through life with
out some time or other being troubled
with constipation. Thousands injure
themselves by the use of strong ca
thartics, salt mineral waters, 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 Is seldom ncces-
sary, and much better and more per-
manent results can be obtained by using
scientific remedy like DIR. Caidwelfs
Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not hide behind
high sounding name. but Is what IL is
represented to be. n mild laxative medi-
cine. 1t Is so mild that thousands Of
mothers give 1t to tiny infants. and yet
1t Is so compounded, and contains such
definite ingredients that II will have
equally good effect when used by a per-
son suffering from the worst chronic
In fact. among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are cid
erly 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 DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin as a laxative tonic
Mrs. Pruitt writes that II so strength.

was quickly relieved Of a severe cough
which had troubled her for months. The
special value of this grand laxative tonic
Is that 1t is suited to the needs Of every

Fugitive Is Brought
Back From Baltimore

Arrested in Baltimore as a fugitive
from justice, John Brown, colored,
who escaped several days ago from the
District workhouse. was brought back
to Washington yesterday and taken to
Ossoquan to complete his unexpired
sentence. Bown refused to return to
the District voluntarily. and it was
necessary to get fugitive warrant and
give him a hearing in Baltimore.
According to Browns story, he had
about completed his sentence on a mi
nor charge, when one of the guards
caught him smoking a cigarette. Be-
cause of this the time that would have
been taken off for good behavior was
added to his term. The next day,
Brown says. he climbed over a fence
and walked to Baltimore.
