in love with Mollie and has told me

Remedy Prescribed

Compound of Simple Laxa-

Efficient.

DR.. w. A. Evans, writing for the
Chicago Tribune, makes the assertion
that practically everyone, at some
time or other. suffers from constipa-
ton. This applies regardless Of age or
condition In life.
The congestion of stomach waste in
the bowels Is evidenced IN various
ways; bloat, eructation Of foul stom-
sch 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 cathartics and violent purga-
tives should not be employed, as these
afford only temporary relief, while
they serve to shock the entire system.
A mild laxative such as DR.. CALDWELL

now tho remedy generally used and
prescribed by many doctors. 1t is free
