He worried through the busy days
Because his plans 30 often failed:
He sought success in many ways,
Distinctions daily he assailed;
He longed for honor and for fame,
He strove to win a lofty place;
His hair grew gray and wrinkles came
To write the story on his face.
He worked with all the might he had,
To prove his worth and win regard;
His shoulders dropped, his look grew sad,
The path he chose was steep and hard;
Deprived of sympathy and aid
He struggled on, defying Fate;
With talents that were small he made
A splendid struggle to be great.
~, n
His wife from day to day complained;
Her once fair face was ever sad;
Twas not that he SO seldom gained
The ends that might have made him
glad:
Her tones were tinged with deep regret,
And sorrow came with her to dwell,
Because 1t was so hard to get
Dressmakers who could fit her well

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep fhc BotveIS Gently
Open With a Mild
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion. =
Some help can be obtained by eat
Ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that state of con-
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan is to take a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty 1t is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Galdwells Syrup Pepsin,
which acts as nearly like nature as is
possible. In fact, the tendency of this
remedy is to strengthen the stomach
and bowel muscles and so train them
to act naturally again, when medicines
Of all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This Is the opinion of many
people of different ages, among them
Mr.. O. p. Miller, Baroda. Mich. who
writes; II am so years old and have
