Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy Youngsters must be healthy.
The digestive organs of children get
out of order as readily as do those of
their elders, and the result is equally
distressing. When the bowels are
clogged with an accumulation of
refuse from the stomach the child ma
turally becomes cross and fretful
from the discomfort, and Is often pun
ished for temper when medical atten-
ton is really what is needed.
The next time your child is cross
and unhappy, without apparent rea-
son, try giving it mild laxative. DR..
CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin is a mild,
pleasant tasting combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
and is especially recommended for
children because of it's freedom from
all opiate or narcotic drugs and it's
gentle action. 1t is sold In drug
stores everywhere. A free trial bot
tie can be obtained by writing to DR.
