Most Old People.
Are Constipated

The wear Of years impairs the
action of the bowels. AS people
grow older they restrict their
activity, neglect to take sufficient
exercise, and indulge a natural
disposition to take things easy.
The digestive organsobecome
more sensitive to the demands
made upon them and rebel more
quickly.
II is of special importance to
the health of elderly people that
the bowels be kept normally
active. A mild, yet effective,
remedy for constipation, and
one that is especially suited to
the needs of old folks, women
and children, is the combination
Of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin sold in drug stores under
the name of DIR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. 1t costs only
fifty cents a bottle, ard should be
