There was a heavy snowfall in the

Says W0n7an's Beauty
 Depends Upon Health
Health and Vigor Necessitate Regulation of Organs
 of Elimination

Skin foods and face creams and powders cannot make a woman beau tiful, because beauty lies deeper than that-it depends on health. In most cases the basis of health and the cause of sickness can be traced to the action of the bowels.
 The headache, the 1assitude, the sal- low skin, and the Iusterless eyes are usually caused by constipation. An ideal remedy for women, and one that is especially suited to their delicate organisms, is found in Dr. Caldwell s Syrup Pepsin, mild laxative com pound, pleasant to the taste and free from opiates and narcotic drugs of every description. Mrs. Gertrude Jor- dan. 522 North Liberty St, Indianapo- lis, Ind, says: Tt is simply fine; l have never been able to find anything to compare with Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. I started using it for the baby and now it is my family standby in all cases where a laxative is needed"
