CADDIES OF THE LINKS.
Their Originals Were Messenger Boys

Originally the caddy OF the present

the remote past were messenger boys

the famous Edinburgh cross, where
oil important messages were read and
many public ceremonies were held

the old city-the caddies In their rag

The chief merchants OF the city, the
leading official persons, the men of
learning and of talent the mobiles, the
lalrds, the clergymen-all clustered
about the cross during certain hours of
the day. and very often some one
wished to send parcel or message to
another part of the town, or a stranger
TO Edinburgh wanted to be directed.
Here was where the caddies were ap.
pealed TO. These boys might be trust
ed with any duty with which they
were charged. They were veritable
street directories. A visitor to the
town would often engage a caddie TO
be wholly at his bidding. az the boys

But. unless this visitor were most
cautious, he would suddenly discover
that his caddie, In addition TO his vast
knowledge OF Edinburgh, knew also
all about his employer-where he

tastes and preferences Exchange.

Tells of Wonderful Cure" by ResiroI
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 26-I had
eczema in the worst way for six
months. A small pimple on my right
wrist kept spreading until it was up
to my elbows. 1t came out in spots
and some places were like water bis
tiers. The itching was intense and
had no relief whatever. My fingers
were all covered with cracks and
rained me very badly. My hands and
arms were all scales. The burning
was so bad 1t felt as If I had been
turned to a blister and the blister
rubbed off I tried everything I could
hear about. including many prescrip-
tons, but had no relief. AS a last re-
sort I tried Resinol Soap and Resinol
Ointment, The itching STOPPED AT
ONCE. Before l had used Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap three days
the rcdness had Ill gone, could sleep
nights-no itching or burning-and
felt like n new woman. People who
knew me when l had this trouble were
surprised at the wonderful cure"

Says Simple Remedy
Prolonged His Life
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Effective as a Remedy
for Constipation.

Among older people the various
organs Of the body have a tendency
to slow up and weaken, and this is
usually first manifest in a pronounced
inactivity of the bowels.
Good health is dependent on reg
ularity in this important function;
whenever there is the slightest indi
cation Of constipation mild laxative
should be taken to relieve the conges-
tion and dispose of the accumulated
waste. Cathartics or purgatives should
not be employed. however; these are
too violent in action and their effect
is only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the combina.
ton of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, known as DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsn, is the ideal remedy. 1t is
gentle in it's action. bringing relief in
an easy, natural manner, without grip
ing or other pain or discomfort, is
pleasant to the taste, and can be OBJ
tanned in any drug store.
Mr.. Robert LeForgee, 91s Kirkwood
Boulevard, Davenport, Iowa, says he
has always had bottle of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in the house for
the past eighteen years, and that by
using it occasionally as the need arises
and in this way keeping his health
