Foods That Bind
Little Children
Start Them off Right lVith a
Good Laxative and Then
Watch Their Diet

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet Of their
children. forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
NOT agree alike with different per
sons Hence. avoid what seems to
constfpate the child or to give II in
digestion. and urge It TO take more of
what IL quickly digcsted.
If the child shows a tendency TO
constipation. IT should Immediately
be given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. BY this is not meant
physic or puTgattye, for these should
never be given to children, por any
thing like salts pills etc. What the
child requires is simply small dose
Of the gentlest of medicines such as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which,
IN the opinion Of thousands Of watch
fu- mothers. is the ideal remedy for
any child showing a tendency TO con-
situation So many things can hap
pen to a constipated child that care Is
necessary. Colds, piles. headaches,
sleeplessness and many other annoy
auces that children should not have
can usually be traced to constipation.
Many Of Americas foremost famI-
lies are never without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never tell when some
member Of the family may need 1t,
and all can use it. Thousands in
