CONSTIPATION CAUSE|
OBSTINATE HEADACHE!

When your head aches you
will usually find the bowels have
been inactive, and if you relieve
this condition., by clearing the
intestinal organs of the ferment-
ing congestion of stomach waste,
foul gases and bile, the head is
relieved Immediately.
Remember this the next time
you suffer from headache. The
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin sold by drug
gists under the name of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is
highly recommended as a gen.
tie laxative that acts easily and
quickly, without gripping or dis
comfort. 1t contains no opiate,
narcotic, or habit forming drug,
is pleasant to the taste, and a
most effective household rem
edy. Mothers find it especially
desirable as a laxative for chill
dren.
You can buy DIR. Caldwell's S
Syrup Pepsin from your drug
gist for fifty cents. Get a bot
tie and have it in the house
when needed. A trial bottle.
free of charge, can be obtained
by writing to DIR. w. b. Cald-

It's pretty comfortable in your Of

want the kind they're used to.
Help send cigarets to the sol

ranged to take care of anything you
give.
A return postcard is enclosed in
each package so that every contribu-
