The experienced mother knows that by training her children to regularity in this respect, and when occasion arises administering a mild laxative. she will have little need for the doctors services.

Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin a most effective laxative, not only for the children but also for herself, and that she will always keep It In the house to use when needed. Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts easily and naturally, with put gr1ping or other pain or discom- fort. It is pleasant ro the taste SC That children like 1t, and is equally effective on the strongest constitution.
