Summer Foods As
 Cause Of Dyspepsia
Many Also Get Diarrhoea- What To Do in Either
 Case

Summer ought to be the months of most perfect health, but ewing to con- taminated water and milk. unripe fruit, germs and insects the average of health is not good at this time of the years. There is much skin trouble from acid fruits, and much dyspepsia and diarrhoea from cold foods and iced beverages.
 The skin trouble is easily stopped by discontinuing fruit for a few days, and by the use of mild laxative to clean the bowels and tone the blood. The dyspepsia is likewise corrected by the use of a laxative that has com bined with it the elements of a diges- tive tonic. Hence the best remedy to use is pr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which, as it's name indicates, is a pleasant laxative combined with the virtues of pepsin, which we all know Is the best cure for indigestion.
 Use Syrup Pepsin also for summer diarrhoea Avoid astringents, physics and cathartics, as they are unneces- sarily harsh. Thousands of good American families prefer pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin, among then those of Mrs. w. A. Taylor, Beloit
