you going to give the first lax

gerous to do so. Some have
been known to rupture the

Don't be beguiled by the out

into the formula. Calomel is
seldom necessary; salts,
minerals, coal tar, never!
Unlike these, DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin Is admirable for
children, as it is for grown
people, too. Mothers have
been giving 1t to children for
30 years. They know it does
not grippe, and is free from
