Found Simple Remedy
That Relieved Child
Mild Laxative Compound Cor
reefs Stubborn Case of
Constipation.

An important duty that devolves on
parents is the regulation of their chill
dren's bowels. Health in later life de-
ponds in large measure on early train
ing and a child should be taught from
infancy to regular habits.
When from any cause the bowel be-
comes congested with stomach waste
a mild laxative should be employed to
open up the passage gently and carry
off the congested mass. A most effec-
tive remedy for this purpose is the
combination of simple laxative herbs
known as Dr.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin
Mrs. w. D. Bulls, OF Reed, Okla, used
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin for her
baby boy. Harley Buren, Bulls, and says
1T did him more good than anything
we have given him. His bowels are
very stubborn about acting, but they
act easily every time I give him DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin."
DR.. Ca1dWelrs Syrup Pepsin contains
no opiate or narcotic drug and is
splendid remedy for children and older
people as well. II has been on the
market for more than twenty-five

the body, and in reply to telegram
from Coroner King stated that she was

and would possibly have the body
brought to Quincy A later wire car
rled the New York City belief, and
told of letter and photograph follow
ing. Until this informa ton is received
the coroner will be unable to ed

That F'rohman was using an as
sumed name seems evident from the
inability of the coroner to secure any
confirmation of identity. Immediately
after the death an attempt was mads
to communicate with the Union Credit

About the hotel little was known OF
Frofman. He had not received piece
of mail at the desk during his seven
weeks stay. and from remarks made
about the lobby his acquaintances had
gathered that he had changed his
name following domestic trouble.
Frohman's baggage, containing over
two hundred papers, had been thor
oughly searched by the coroner. but
there is not one which will aid in es
tabiishing his identity.

were selling ammunition to whoever
wished to buy. just the same way as
Germany had done for hundred years.

they do not need it, and that as a
