An Effective Laxative
For Growing Children
DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin
Highly Recommended as
a Family Remedy.

In children the slightest irregularity
of the Bowels has tendency to disturb
the entire digestive system, and unless
promptly remedied invites serious ill
ness. The experienced mother knows
that by training her children to regu-
larity in this respect, and when occasion
arises administering a mild laxative, she
will have little need for the doctors SER
vices.
Mrs. Leo Weigand, 1851 Central Ave.
N. s., Pittsburg. Pa. whose two boys.
Frank and Joseph, are shown in the ~
lustration. writes that she has found DR.
caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin a most effective
laxative. not only for the children but
also for helself, and that she will al
ways keep 1t in the house to use when
needed. DR.. Caldweif's Syrup Pepsin is
a combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts easily and natur.
ally. without gripping or other pain or
discomfort. 1t Is pleasant to the taste
so that children like it, and is equally
effective on the strongest constitution

SIDNEY
F. B. Cannon

NORTH-The community was shocked
and saddened by the sudden death Fri
day forenoon Of Forest B. Cannon, a
highly esteemed citizen of this town. His
age was 35 years, months and 8 days
and his death was due to adhesion of
the bowels. OF late Mr.. Cannon has
complained Of not feeling in his ordinary
robust health. but had attended to his
many duties on the farm. and Sunday
attended church with his family as was
his usual custom. Early Thursday
morning his symptoms became alarming
and a physician was at once summoned.
Later a consultation Of doctors was held
and an operation ws deemed the only
hope available. To this Mr.. Cannon
readily accented, but was too weak to
withstand the ether and passed away
during the process of administering It.
Beside his parents he is survived by a
widow and two children. Morris and Ber-
tha, who have the heartfelt sympathy Of
the community. The funeral service was
held from his late home on the River
road Sunday at P. NJ. and was conduct
ed by his pastor, Rev. Albert Leech Of
Vassalboro. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful and the interment
was made in the North Sidney cemetery

WORRY IS 4 DISEASE

The disorder which causes it's victims
TO worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not is neurasthenia.
Neurasthenia is entirely distinct from
hysteria although the patient may have
both diseases at the same time.
Neurasthenia often results from some
nervous shock, such as the loss of .
near relative, business reverses, or some
severe overstrain on the nervous sys-
tenn. The patient is usually pale, show
ing that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is to build up the blood be-
cause anything that builds up the gen.
eral health helps to correct the neu-
fasthenic condition. Rest and good
tonic is the very best treatment in most
cases.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because they
are non-alcholic and neurasthenic patti.
ents should avoid alcoholic stimulants.
The DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y, has published
little book on nervous disorders that
contains q chapter on neurasthenia, in
which the symptoms are fully described
and the correct treatment given. The
booklet is free on request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold BY
your own druggist or will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt of, price, 50
cents per box, six boxes for $3.50.

A new SWEDEN
FARMER VICTIM
OF AF|END|SH
ASSAULT SEPT.14

Bangor, Me-, Sept. ga New Swed-
Of the secretiveness Of the Swedes who
comprise the large majority of the
upon well known and peaceable resi-
dent has just come to light through the
relatives Of the victim. On the night Of
Sept. 14th, Joseph A. Johahsen, about
"a years old, who lives on the farm Of
his mother Mrs. Christina Johansen.
on the Madawaska road, about mile
from New Sweden station. was riding
home from the village, when man
asked him for a ride. Johansen took
him in, and had gone but short dis
tance, when he was suddenly struck
heavy blow by some blunt instru-
ment in the mouth, which knocked out
several teeth and cut his lip. He fell
from the wagon, and was then set up
tongue pulled out and slashed with a
sharp knife, twice across and once
lengthwiSe, nearly severing it.
He was left by the roadside for
nearly an hour, his assailant driving
off with the team. Later, two men came
back, helped Johansen into the wagon
and drove him to the residence of DR..
Charles H. Harmon, and disappeared,
after calling the physician to the door.
Johansen was taken to his home and
80 stitches We're necessary in the cuts
in his face and tongue. The injured
man suffered severely from the shock
and injuries, and is still in a serious
condition, but will probably recover.
No complaint has been made to the
Aroostook county authorities, and but
for relatives nothing would have been
known of the assault.
Jobansen is noted for his good nat
ure and kindly disposition, and as far
as known had given no one any reason
for such an assault. He is married and
has one child four weeks old. His
brother, Guy Johansen Of Westman-
land, was murdered about IS years ago

The Minister who Feels
Well on Monday

With many ministers, Monday is an
"of day." Not in the way of doing
nothing, but in the sense of not feel
ing we'll. After the hard work of Sat-
urday and Sunday, comes the nervous
and physical reaction of Monday, with
that "all-in" feeling. This is con-
dition many ministers would be glad
to be freed from. They can avoid it
by giving proper attention to diet, and
taking 81. F." Atwood's Medicine to
keep the bowels in order, the stomach
toned, the liver regulated, and the
head clear. This old home remedy
is so good that many ministers are
glad to recommend it, feeling that
they are passing along a kindness in
SO doing. We will send free sample
to any minister, upon request.
