Help the Stomach
 Digest Your Food

When the stomach fails to di- gest and distribute that which is eaten, the bo W l s become clogged with a mass Of waste and refuse that ferments and generates poisons that are grad- ually forced into the blood, causing distress and often serious illness.
 Most people naturally object to the drastic cathartic and pur- gative agents that shock the system. A mild, gentle laxative. positive in it's effect and that will quickly relieve constipation is Dr. Ca1dwelrs Syrup Pepsin, sold by druggists at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. It does not gripe or craInp, but acts easily and pleasantly, and Is therefore the most satisfactory remedy for children, women and elderly persons. For free trial bottle write to Dr. w. B.
