Millions of Families Depend
on DR.. CALDWELL Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to pracc-
tice medicine, back i'll 1873, the needs
for a laxative were not as greet as
they are today People lived nor
NAL quiet lives, ate plain whole
some food. and got plenty of fresh
air and sunshine. But even that
early there were drastic physics and
purees for the relief of constipation
which DR.. Caldwell did not believe
were good for human beings to put
into their system SO he wrote
prescription for laxative to be used
by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used carly in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores i'll
1892 under the name OF DR.. Cdld-
wells Syrup Pepsin. is liquid vege
table remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people, and
they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world The fact that
millions of bottles are used year
proves that it has won the conf
dence of people who needed it to
get relief from headaches, bilious
ness, hatulencc, Indigestion, loss OF
appetite and sleep, bad breath,
dyspepsia colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep

it you will also always have a bottle

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, August 10.--The ele.
ment working for higher prices on

incentives to come in on the buying

However. they gave the impression
that traffic was continuing at the hich
lovcl which has been maintained for

Then there was the highly favor
able statement of the United States
steel Corporation on untitled tonnage
for July showing an increase of
SS,T6S tons over June. and the gradual
but steady decrease in crude oil pro-
duction in the Seminole field. which
was an indication that the latest eff
forts to correct the unfaVorahle sta
tiStical position of the oil industry
were meeting with success.
The speculative issues on the Curb
Exchange went along with those on
the big board, Interests who had
come in on the buying side recently
appeared to he in no hurry to take
down profits where these had accrued
and were of the opinion that the re-
