THE KNOW HOW
To Feed Children and Get Good Re-
suits.

There are more nervous persons
made so by undigested food lying in
the stomach than the average indi-
vidual would suppose.
If food remains undgested in the
stomach, it begins to ferment, set up
gas and a large portion is thus con-
verted into poison.
That's why imperfectly digested food
may, and often does, cause irritation
of the nerves and stupor of the mind
brain and nerves are really poisoned
MY daughter had complained for
some time of distressed feeling in
the stomach, after eating, which set
me thinking that her diet was not
right" writes an anxious and intelli-
gent mother.
"She had been fond Of cereals, but
had never tried Grape-Nuts. From
reading the account of this predigest-
ed food it seemed reasonable to try
Grape-Nuts for her case.
"The results were really wonderful
The little brain that seemed at times
unable to do its work, took on new
life and vigor Every morning, now,
before going to school, she eats the
crisp little morsels and is now COM
pletely and entirely well, she seems to
have new lease on life--no more
distress in the stomach, nor head
ache, but sound and well everyway."

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
TO diet, babies and children will be
come constipated, and it is a fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But as we cannot 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 laNative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tons. It can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar a bottle, and those who are
already convinced OF its merits buy
the dollar size
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
seine for children, and it is also very
pleasant TO the taste. It is sure in
its effect and genuinely harmless.
Very little Of it is required and its
frequent use does not cause it to lose
1ts effect, as is the case with so many
other remedies
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, Indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, etc, among them
