Most Old People
 Are Constipated

The wear of years irnpairs 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 organs become more sensitive to the demands made upon them and rebel more quickly.
 It is of special importance to the health of elderly people that the bowels be kept normally active. A mild, yet effective, '7remedy for constipation, and ..pne that is especially suited to Q tfe needs of old folks, women and children, is the combination Of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the r,aTns of pr. Caldwell's SyrupfoPepsin. It costs only fifty cents a bottle, and should be in everytf family medicine chest. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be aebtained by writing to Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 456 Wash ington St, Monticello, Illinois.

this and no more: If Doctor Smyth has. as
manner of his book. discovered FL Dorado,
he is to be congratulated alike on the dis
covery and his striking method of publishing

It for our benefit, then I say that a man

and generous critic Of other mems books

that life without Aunt Hepzibah, although 1t
might give him one mad, rapturous day of

Aunt HepZibah was an institution: she was
