MOTHER, when one of the

you going to give the first lax

perous to do so. Some have
been known to rupture the
intestines of little children.
Don't be beguiled by the out

into the formula. Calomel is
seldom necessary; salts,
minerals, coal tar, never!
Unlike these, DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is admirable for
children, as it is for grown
people, too. Mothers have
been giving it to children for
80 years. They know it does
not grippe, and is free from
narcotics. The formula is on
