In 1918 the city Of Lewiston. Maine.

crlosis work. The city did not know
exactly what to do with the money. for it

nurse saw an opportunity she had long
looked for. She advised that the sum be
set aside until it could be added to by

the people redoubled their interest The

buttons.
In 1916 the nurse reported to the Ma

Failed.

There is nothing so necessary to a
child's health and comfort as regu-
larity of the bowels. All children are
especially susceptible to stomach trou-
BILE and any overstrain of the sensitive
organs has tendency to obstruct
elimination. This condition is respon-
sible for much of the illness of child
hood.
To relieve constipation a mild laxa-
tive should be employed. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent in their ac-
tion and should be avoided. Mrs. AL
fred Du Bois, Mt. Holly, N. j., saws
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is without
doubt the most effective remedy for
constipation she has ever used and
that it is the only remedy she could
find for her baby. Little Earl was
badly constipated during his first year
and nothing she tried seemed to help
him until she got bottle of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. Now he is a
