viii Never Be Without
This Simple Laxative
Or. caIdwelI's Syrup Pepsn Re
Ieved Her Baby When Moth
ing Else Would.


Little Max rendergrast is now four
years old, and fine healthy boy.
When but tiny baby, in fact almost
from birth, he suffered a great deal
from constipation. His mother Mrs.
Carl W. Pendergrast, Red Key, Ind,
heard OF DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
obtained a bottle it from the drug
store. and with it was able to quickly
, correct this condition.
Mrs. Pendergrast says Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin has saved them
from calling the doctor many times,
and that she will never be without a
bottle of it in the house to use when
needed. She found 1t equally effec-
tive as a laxative for herself and other
members of the family.
Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, pleasant to the taste,
mild in action and positive in effect.
1t does not grippe or strain, and con-
tains no opiate or narcotic drug. 1t is
the ideal family laxative, mild and
pleasant for baby, yet acting quickly
on the strongest constitution.

timism respecting the success of the
plan apparent, for Ulster stands where
she has always stood. Sir John Ions

dicted the same old deadlock declar-
ing that Ulster would not be driven

dieting that the nationalists Will not
consent to the exclusion of six Ulster
counties. But if the attempt fails, the
failure will deprive the ancient charge
that John Bulls greater island is
the oppressor" of much OF its force,
and it is pointed out that Ireland can
hardly be hailed before the European
peace conference as another Poland,
while America and the colonies can
no longer reproach Great Britain with
