WHEN a man is in the S3rd
w year of his age, as I am,
there are certain things he has
learned that only time can
teach him. The basis of treat
ing sickness has not changed
since l left Medical College in
1875, nor since l placed on the
market the laxative prescrip-
ton l had used in my practice,
known to druggists and the
public since 1892, as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Then the treatment of con-
stipation, biliOusness. head
aches, mental depression,
indigestion, sour stomach and
other indispositions that result
from constipation was entirely
by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots.
These are still the basis Of my
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which is a combination of
Egyptian SIENNA and other mild
laxative herbs with pepsin.
Recently new medicines
have been brought out for
constipation that contain cal
omel, which is mercury, salts
of various kinds, minerals, and
coal tar. These are all drastic
purges, many of them danger

The simpler the remedy for
constipation, the safer for the
child and for you, and the bet
ter for the general health of
all. And as you can get results
in a mild and safe way by
using DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, why take chances with
pills and powders and strong
drugs, even if disguised in
candy? My remedy, too, costs
less than most others, only
about a cent a dose. A bottle
such as you can find in any
drug store, will last a family
several months, and all can use
it. 1t is good for the babe in

taste, gentle in action, and free

dose, given in the directions,
it is equally effective at all
ages. Elderly people will find
it especially ideal.

WOULD GET RID OF "JUNK"
Writer Protests Against Custom, All
Too Common, Of Keeping Useless
Old Household Goods.

Articles which owe their value. to
their utility may become unservice-
able, but the owners, instead of get

the home in which to store them, or,
worse still, keep the old gods In q

well as comfOrtless.
Where families have lived In one

Of useless furniture will be found lum-

sible and practical members Of the
family ask for their disposal, and
comment on their uselessness they get
a lecture entitled sentimental value.
The amazing part of the sentiment

mlsers of rubbish place on the tastes
and desires OF other members Of the

gods are likely to become exacting
and unheppily these faillngs increase
