LET US BE THANKFUL

Thanksgiving Day was observed as matter
of course but it is doubtful that many really stop
ped to consider how much who live in the year
1928 really have to be thankful for Only by COM
pairing our condition with that of our ancestors may
we realize what present-day civilization really
means.
Two or three centuries ago only the aristocrats
had any material comforts to speak of. The aver
age person toied long hours to earn the barest
necessities of life with no Injuries. Few had suf-
6cient food clothing; disease was unchecked and
suffering was unrelieved. Education was denied to
the great of the population while the natural
aspirations of mankind We're stifled.
During all the centuries the great majority
were born to virtual enslavement of both body and
rulers. Human beings were shown less considera-
worlds cheapest commodity.
How different today, although mans inhumanity
to man still causes much needless suffering. At
least we have emerged from barbarism and there is
more of sympathy and charity and helpfulness in
the world than ever before.
The working today has luxuries not
dreamed of in the past. He has ample clothing,
shelter and food; many have automobiles and a
radio set; he may enjoy the movies and other
aniusements; books newspapers and magazines are
within his reach.
AS recent writer has said, 'the truth is we
are all of us living in luxury, very grand form,
of luxury, compared with conditions in every 9TH
er country, with conditions that existed in this
country even few decades ago."
For all these blessings let us be thankful, not
only Thanksgiving Day, but every day

games suitable to all ages and

four professional books from a

Doctor at 83 Found People
Preferred His Prescription

The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since he
placed on the market the laxative
prescription he had used in his prac-
tice. known to druggists and the pub
lie since 1892, as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
PepSin.
Then. the treatment of constipa-
ton. bliouSness, headaches, mental
depression, indigestion, sour stomach
and other indispositions that result
from constipation was entirely by
means of simple vegetable laxatives,
herbs and roots. These are still the
basis Of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin,
which is combination of SIENNA and
other mild laxative herbs, with pep
sin.
Dr. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu-
man beings to put into their system.
Ii grown people want to use them
no one can deny them the privilege,
but they should never be given to
children.
The simpler the remedy for consti-
patton. the safer for the child and for
YOU. and the better for the general
health of all And as you can get
results in mild and safe way by us
ing Dr. Cardwell's Syrup Pepsin. why
take chances with strong drugs? All
drug stores have the generous bottles.
