Permanent Relief for

knowledge and Practice OF Correct
Daily Habit the Great
Essential

Constipation is condition affect
ing all classes of all people and can
be permanently relieved only by &C
curing habits of regularity.
The most natural time for the
eliminative process Is in the morn
ing when both the muscular and ner'
vous systems are relaxed by sleep
and rest. When relief does not come
readily, it is an excelleDt plan TO
take a mild laxative at bedtime. Ca
thartics and purgatives, that by the
violence of their quick action shock
and disturb the system, should not
be employed
An effective laxative remedy that
is very dependable, and which does
not grippe or otherwise disturb the
organs involved. Is found in a com
bination OF simple laxative herbs
known as DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup Pep
sin that can be bought at the drug

So by voting dry those 10 counties

The official organ OF the steel

the liquor traffic for three reasons;
First--The men who drink turn out

They turn out diminished amount
