Doctor Found Women
and Children Sick
More Often than Men

AS a family doctor at Monticello,
Illinois. the whole human body. not
any small part of it. was DR.. Cald-
wells practice. More than half his
calls" were on women, children and
babies. They are the ones most
often sick. But their illnesses were
usually of minor nature-colds:
fevers. headaches, biliousness--and
all of them required first thorough
evacuation. They were constipated
In the course of DIR. Caldwell's az
years practice Che was graduated
from Rush Medical College back i'll
1879. he found a good deal OF sue
cess in such cases with prescription
of his own containing simple laxative
herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he de-
cided to use this formula in the
manufacture of a medicine to be
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and ir that year his prescription
was first placed on the market.
The preparation Immediately had
as great a success in the drug stores
as it previously had in DR.. Caldwellfs
private practice. Now, the third
generation is using it. Mothers are
giving it to their children who were
given it by their mothers. Every
second of the working day someone
somewhere is going into drug store
to buy it. Millions of bottles of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are ben.g
used a year.
It's great success is based on merit,
on repeated buying, on one satisned
user telling another. There are
thousands of homes in this country
that are never without a bottle of
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and we
have gotten many hundreds of letters
from grateful people telling us that it
helped them when everything else
failed.

Marie departed.

BROTHERS IN FIGHT
 WITH FATAL RESULT
Exertion Blamed for Death Of Otto Dickerman, Glastonbury

Otto Dickerman, aged 51 years, of Naubuc avenue, Glastonbury, died here Sunday while sitting in his au- tomobile, following a fight with his brother, Ernest Dickerman, aged 39 years, of 42 Ellsworth street, New lngton.
 After an autopsy performed by pr. John Purney, medical examin- er. heart failure was given as the cause of death. Dr. Purney found that Otto had been suffering from a chronic heart ailment and that over exertion in the struggle with his brother made the malady acute.
 Ernest drove to the New Britain station early Sunday morning and stated that he thought his brother was dead. He was arrested and talk an to Avon by State Policeman Paul Lavan in default of bonds of s5,000. He is being held on technical charge of manslaughter.
 Ernest told the police that the pair had left Glastonbury Saturday noon and had done some shopping ir Hartford. They went to Andrews cider mill in Pennington and bought a gallon Of cider. They drank this at the home of their cousin, Eben Plude in Avon.
 On the road 10 Newington. the pair became involved in an argu- ment over Otto's son, Herbert, and according to Ernest, Otto stopped the car, got out and pulled Ernest

 "We are of good Southern stock" he said in the "shame letter." And he con- cluded, There is no way to wipe out dishonor save by death. We choose that way"
 A dismal ending to a "good time, " one would say. Many little trip to Tia Juana would have ended likewise had those who had lost their honor in that disorderly town the sensitiveness of Tom Peteet, his wife and his two fine girls.
 While popular indignation was at fever heat, some of the God-fearing business gentlemen of Los Angeles and San Diego, California, who own three fourths of the bars and gaming places and dives, got religion, and threatened to wipe out Tia Juana.
 They seriously discussed starting an- other pleasure resort few miles away, over the Mexican line The plan was to run it 'liberally," but not with such out rageous disregard for the decencies as Tia Juana smiles upon. Liquor was to be had, but not by minors. Gambling was to be kept within bounds, and white slavery ruthlessly suppressed.
 That, though, was while the public was all worked up, and it looked as if some thing might have to be done about it. As indignation cooled, the good inten- tions of the gentlemen who clip the cou- pons grew weaker.

After all, those joints and dives i'll Tia Juana may not be pretty to contemplate, but they pay big dividends. And the men who own them are very careful to tell their own sons and daughters of the perils of the wanton town on the inter- national boundary line.
 Tia Juana is only a short distance from San Diego, California, and as it ha. no first-class hotels itself. most tourists plan to spend the night in San Diego. In that way that thriving and eminently respectable Californian community takes toll of its fallen sister across the line, and is inclined to wink at the latter's cussedness.
 Tia Juana's rise came after the Eighteenth Amendment was passed by the people of the United States It can be reached by train, or bus, from Los Angeles. It has been estimated that 1S0,000 Americans swarm across the Mexican border some days during the season, and most of them go to Tia Juana. Not all the people who visit the worlds wickedest town indulge in the sinful pleasures that has made the place so popular and earned it the odious name by which it is known the world over. Many go there just to see how far a community car go in pandering to the lowest instincts, but most of Tia Juana's numerous floating population is lured there by the towns evil at fractions.
 The town has every vice but one. 1, is not hypocritical. It makes no pre- tensions to virtue. Tia Juana is mad and bad and glad of it.

 When they got back into the auto mobile, Otto complained about pains about his heart. He asked Ernest to drive and they hurried towards Newington. When they arrived at Ernest's home Otto's condition was alarming. Ernest after consult ing with his wife, decided to drive to the New Britain police for aid.
 He was arrested at the New Brit ain police headquarters.

\ LONG time ago, when Rudyard "A Kipling was young and out
 spoken, and supposed to know his Sodoms and Gomorrahs, he immor- talzed the depravity of the ageless East in the following unforgettable lines:
 Ship me somewhere east of Suez.
 Where the best is as the worst;
 Where there ain't no Ten Com
 mandments,
 And a man can raise a thirst.
 But that was long before Tia Juana mushroomed out of the void into its present unsavory eminence as the wick edest town on earth.
 A few years ago this town on the Mexican Californian frontier was sandy, hot, arid little settlement, avoided even by the peons and their burros.
 To-day it is known from one end of the civilized world to the other as cesspool of iniquity, the stepping-off pidle ol uttSiIy. Lo"u "llcic any thing goes"
 Anything, that is, but murder on the principal streets in broad daylight, and even that may be gotten away with if you pick your victim from among the friendless and the disinherited.

The irony of it all is that Tia Juana, trans lated into English, is Aunt Jane"
