Millions of Families Depend
on Dr.. CALDWELL Prescription

When Or. Caldwell started to

wholesome food, and got plenty az
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic phys
les and purges for the relief of con-
stipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe We're good for human be-
ings to put into their system. So
he wrote a prescription for a laxa-
tive to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name Of DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable 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 a wear

OF people who needed it to get re-
lief from headaches, biliousness.

with the same engineers who con-
st-rctcd the Spirit. and from those
conferences has come his new ship.

altitude OF 5000 feet en- a dark night.

SLAYER Of STATE
TROOPER HUNTED
Dying Officer Found With
AssaiIant'S Necktie in
His Hand.

By the Associated Press.
TUXEDO PARK, N. Y, September
S.-Police today were searching the
heavily wooded, mountainous country
about this exclusive colony for the per-
son or persons who shot and fatally
wounded State Trooper C. T. Wilder.
Wilder was shot down from behind
about o'clock yesterday afternoon
within 100 yards of the north gate OF
Tuxedo Park. A laborer heard the shot
and notified police at the gate. No
trace of the killer was found.
The scene of the shooting was on
little-used road to Greenwood Lake,
screened from view by thick unoer-
brush, through which the killers es-
capped In Wilders hand was clutched
a red necktie, which indicated ne nad
been graphing with an assailant. HIS
motor cycle was parked nearby,
Police Chief Gil Bush reached the
scene before Wilder was removed to the
hospital and asked the trooper II ne
knew who shot him. Wilder said yes
and nodded his head. but lapsed into
Inconsistencies before he could tell
Chief Bush anything further. Asked
again at the hospital just before he
died, he said no" He was so weak
from loss of blood and in such pain that
police believe he did not understand the
question.
The country around Greenwood Lake
is mountainous and heavily forested.
Almost its only inhabitants are the
jackson Whites" descendants OF
revolutionary deserters, runaway slaves
and Delaware Indians. They live IN
cabins scattered through the woods.
Wilder was son of W. Wilder OF
Little Rock, Ark He had been IN the
State service two years. Fellow troop
ers said he was one of the best athletes
on the force, especially at boxing and
wrestling.
