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 ac- ! emulation of refuse from the < stomach the child naturally be- comes cross and fretful from the ( discomfort. and is often punished for temper when medical attention
 } Is really what is needed.
 The next time your child is { cross and unhappy. without appar- { ent reason, try giving it a mild Z laxative. Dr. Cadwells Syrup ) Pepsin is mild, pleasant tasting ! combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, and is especial Ky recommended for children be- cause of its freedom from J all opiate or narcotic drugs ! and it's gentle action.
