The Skin and Not the Blood.

Until recently it has been a gener-
ally accented theory that eczema was
disease of the blood. Scientific in
vestigations have taught us that
eczema is positively skin disease
and durable through the skin alone.
Meritol Eczema Remedy is applied
directly to the diseased skin. Do not
delay trying Meritol Eczema Remedy.

Watch Carefully
the Child's Diet
Start Them on Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Their Food

Laxative ana men "dtSH
Their Food.
Mothers are often unconsclously
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 persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to consu-
pate the child or to give indigestion,
and urge it to take more of what is
quickly digested.
If the child shows tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given a mild laxative tonic to help
the bowels. BY this is not meant
physic or purgative, for these should
never be given to children, nor any
thing like salts, pills, etc. What the
child requires is simply dose OF the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which in the
opinion of thousands of watchful
mothers, is the ideal remedy for any
, child showing a tendency to constipa-
ton. So many things can happen to
constipated child that care is neces-
sary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleep
lessness, and many other annoyances
! that children should not have can US
ually 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 it
and all can use it. Thousands en-
dorse it, among them Mrs. M. E. Pat
| ten, Valley Junction, Iowa, who is
never without it in the house. Mrs.
Patten has done wonders for her boy
