changes which accomplished this
financial revolution were as follows:

REMEDY PRESCRIBED

Compound Of Simple Laxative
Herbs Proves Most
Efficient.


DR.. W. A. Evans, writing for the
Chicago Tribune, makes the asser-
ton that practically everyone, at
some time or other, suffers from con
stipation. This applies regardless of
age or condition in life.
The congestion of stomach waste
in the bowels is evidenced in various
ways; bloat, eruetation of foul stom-
ach gases, sick headache, langour, all
indicate constipation, and call for
prompt attention, not only to relieve
the present discomfort but also to
avoid possible disease that follows
neglect of this important function
Harsh cathartios and violent pur-
gatives should not be employed as
these afford only temporary relief,
while they serve to shock the entire
system. A mild laxative such rs DR.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is far pre-
ferable and is now the remedy gener-
ally used and prescribed by many doc
tors. 1t is free from cpiate or marco
tic drugs, acts easily and pleasantly
without gripping or other pain and is
safe, effective family remedy.
