Baby's Happiness
Depends On Health

Cross. fretful babies usually need
laxative to make them comfortable,
and comfort begets happiness. Con

comfort. Mothers should watch
closely the condition of their chill

regular.
A mild, pleasant tasting laxative
such as DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pep
sin, is ideal for children because of
its natural composition and gentle
action. and because it contains no
opiate, narcotic or other harmful
habit-forming drug. DIR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists
