MEXICO CITY. Nov. 24-Ths
Mexican congress is scheduled to
meet this afternoon to consider the
legality OF the recent election.
1t seemed clear here today that
Pres dent Wilson has succeeded In
effectually cutting off Huerta's out
side sources of financial assistance.
The financial embarrassments of the
provisional president are daily press
ing more severely upon him.
Huerta has increased the taxes to
confiscatory but business Is so flat and
ready money so scarce that to pay
them Is virtually an impossibility.
Huerta made a distinct nit with the
unthinking Mexicans yesterday by at
tending a bull fight. For two hours
he mixed with the crowd of 10000
persons attending the Sunday show.
and afforded an easy mark for an as
sassin, although he was pretty closely
watched by secret service agents.

It was believed that the federals had

MEXICO CITY, Nov 24.-Scores of
Mexicans appealed to the foreign dip
lomats today for protection against
conscription into Huerta's army. A
remarkable feature OF the case was
that most of the appeals came from
women whom Huerta is drafting for
service as cooks and nurses.
Squads of soldiers were sent out
to scour the streets and ransack the
cafes for likely candidates. When
ever one was seen he or she was i'm
pressed straightway into service.
There were no formalities whatever.

Are You Subject
To Constipation
HERE Is A SIMPLE WAY OF COR
RECTiNG IT INSTANTLY BE-
FORE 1T BECOMES
CHRONIC.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thous-
ands injure themselves by the use of
strong cathartics, 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 ne
cessary. and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained by
using a scientific remedy like DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not hide
behind a high sounding name, but is
what 1t is represented to be, mild
laxative medicine. 1t is so mild that
thousands of mothers give it to tiny
infants. and yet it is so compounded,
and contains such definite ingredients
that it will have equally good effect
when used by a person suffering from
the worst chronic constipation. In
fact, among the greatest endorsers of
Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who
have suffered for years and found
nothing to benefit them until they took
Syrup Pepsin.
1t is a fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house. homes like those of Mrs. G. B.
Pruitt, Berea, KY, who used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin as a laxative
tonic Mrs. Pruitt writes that il so
strengthened and cleansed her system
that she was quickly relieved of a Sc
we're cough which had troubled her for
months. The special value of this
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-03-14

grand laxative tonic is that it is suit
ed to the needs of every member of
the family. 1t is pleasant-tasting. mild
and non-griping. Unlike harsh physics
it works gradually and in a brief time
the stomach and bowel muscles are
trained to do their work naturally
again, when all medicines can be dis
pensed with.
You can obtain a bottle at any drug
store for fifty cents or one dollar. The
latter size is usually bought by fami-
lies who already know its value. Re
suits are always guaranteed or money
will be refunded
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would
like to make a personal trial of it be-
fore buying it in the regular way of
druggist, send your address, postal
will do-to DR.. W. B. Caldwell. AIT

free sample bottle will be mailed you.
