been forced to suspend by the high
water, and upward of 10000 men are
idle. The loss in wages thus will lpn

Are You Subject
to Constipation?
Here is a Simple Way of Cor
recting it Instantly Before
it Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time OF other being
troubled with constipation. Thou
sands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
tiers, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
ii 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
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained by
using a scientific remedy like DIR.
CaldWell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what ii is represented to be,
a 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 def
mite ingredients that it will have
equally good effect when used by a
person suffering from the worst
chronic constipation. In fact, among
the greatest indorsers of Syrup Pep
sin are elderly people who have suf-
fered 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..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin as a laxa-
tive tonic Mrs. Pruitt writes that
il so strengthened and cleansed her
system that she was quickly relieved
OF a severe cough which had trou-
bled her for months, The special
value of this grand laxative tonic is
that it is suited to the needs of every
member of the family. 1t is pleas
