that constipation and indigestion
have wrecked many a young life. To
start with good digestive appara-
tus Is to start life without handicap.
But as we can not all have perfect
working bowels. we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use OF a laxative tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy IL called
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
lions. IT can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar bottle, and those who
are already convinced OF its merits
buy the dollar size.
Its mildness makes II the ideal
medicine for children, and It IS also
very pleasant to the taste. II is sure
in its effect and genuinely harmless.
Very little OF It is required, and its
frequent use does not cause 1t to
lose its effect. as Is the case with so
many other remedies.
Thousands can testify to its mer-
