Woman's Health
Requires Care

Women are so constituted as to
be peculiarly susceptible to consti-
patton, and their general health de-
ponds in large measure on careful
regulation and correction of this
tendency. Their delicate organisms
rebel at the violence Of cathartic
and purgative remedies, which,
while they may afford temporary re-
lief. shock the system and seriously
disturb the functional organs. A
mild laxative is far preferable and, If
properly compounded, much more eff
fective.
The combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin sold in drug
stores under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is ideal for wo-
mems use. A free trial bottle can
be obtained by writing to DR.. ". B.
