Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity Is to Keep the
Bowels Gently Open with Mild
Laxative Tonic.

Inc flrst Necessity Is 70 Keep the
Bowels Gently Open with n 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 stom-
ach muscles become weak and mac
tive and the liver does not store up
the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty
OF erevcise, but this latter Is irksome
to most elderly people One thing
Is certain, that a state Of constipa-
ton should always be avoided as Il is
dangerous to life and health. The best
plan is TO take mild laxative as often
az Is deemed necessary But with
equal certainty II is suggested that
cathartics, purgatives, physics. salts
and pills b. 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 fol-
lowing. Is TO take a gentle laxative
tonic like Or. Caldwell's 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 10 act naturally again,
when medicines OF all kinds can usu-
ally be dispensed with. This is the
opinion OF many people OF different
ages, among them Mr.. o p. Miller,

pated for many years. Since receiving

Perhaps it is not generally known that
Pythianism had its beginning among

was quite in keeping with the mar
