WOman'S Health
 Requires Care


 Women are so constituted as to be peculiarly susceptible to constipa- tion, and their general health de- pends in large n-aasure on careful regulation and correction of this tendency, Their delicate organisms rebel at the violence of cathartic andzpurgative remedies. which, while they may afford temporary relief. shock the system and seriously dis turb the functional organs. A mild laxative is far preferable and, if properly com pounded. much more ef- fectiye.
 The combination of simple laxa- tive herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of Dr Caid- wells Syrup Pepsin, is ideal for women's nse.. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. w. B. Caldwell 4a2 Washington Street, Monticello, Ills.
