We cannot all start life with the adj

come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing it great suffering.
If the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is to
give the baby small dose of a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark, the
proper remedy is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: "Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best
medicine ever used. It cured my
baby of flatulency collie when the doc
tors failed; it cured my husband Of
constipation. My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepsin." It is a
pleasant-tasting laxative, which every
person likes. It is mild, nor-griping.

digestants, pepsin.

A GOOD BREAKFAST.
Sumo Persons Never Know What It
Means,

A good breakfast, a good appetite
and good digestion mean everything
to the man, woman or child who has
anything to do, and wants to get q
good start toward doing it.
A Mo. man tells of his wife's good
breakfast" and also supper, made out
Of Grape-Nuts and cream. He says:
Il should like to tell you how much
good Grape-Nuts has done for my wife.
After being in poor health for the last
18 years, during part of the time
scarcely anything would stay on her
stomach long enough to nourish her,
finally at the suggestion of a friend
she tried Grape-Nuts.
Now, after about four weeks on
this delicious and nutritious food, she
has picked up most wonderfully and
seems as we'll as anyone can be.
Every morning she makes good
breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten just rs
it comes from the package with cream
or milk added; and then again the
same at supper and the change in her
is wonderful.
