One of the greatest blessings a
woman can have is TO be possessed of
a fine fair skin on face, neck and
arms. 4 little attention now and
then TO the blood condition makes
this possible. Women are great suf-
ferers from blood disorders and hence
their compilations are marred because
of this fact.

Remedy Prescribed
by Many Doctors
Compound of Simple Laxative Herbs
Proves Most Efficient.

Proves Most Efficient.
DR.. w a. Evans, writing for the
Chicago Tribune, makes the assertion
that practically everyone. at some time
or other. suffers from constipation.
This applies regardless Of age or con-
ditlon in life.
The congestion Of stomach waste in
the bowels is evidenced in various
ways; bloat, eructation or foul stom-
ach gases, sick headache, languor, all
indicate constipation, and call for
prompt attention, not only to relieve
the present discomfort but also to
avoid possible disease that follows
neglect of this important function.
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
tives should not be employed, as these
afford only temporary relief, while they
serve to shock the entire system. A
mild laxative such rs. Or. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin is far preferable and is
now the remedy generally use and
prescribed by many doctors. II Is free
from opiate or narcotic drugs, acts
easily and pleasantly, without gripping
