Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 Is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875,
the needs for a laxative were not
as great as they are today. Peo-
Pile lived normal, quiet lives, ate
plain, wholesome food, and got
plenty of fresh air and sunshine.
But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for
the relief of constipation which
DR.. Caldwell did not believe were
good for human beings to put
into their systems. So he wrote
a prescription for laxative to be
used by his patients.
The prescription for constipa-
ton that he used early in his
practice, and which he put in
drug stores in 1892 under the
name of DR.. Caldwell'S 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 it's
worth and is now the largest SELL
ing liquid laxative i'll the world.
The fact that millions of bottles
are used a year proves that it has
won the confidence of people who
needed it to get relief from head
aches, biliouSneSS. f1atulence, in
digestion, loss of appetite and
sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and feverS.

bombs were filed and 1t won't take
much ingenuity to learn which of two
or three machines they came from.
And /" He broke off, as it seemed
because his mind was running far be-
yond his words. His eyes, on Van
Wrinkle, lost their direct gaze and looked
beyond them. Then they swung round
to the window and he looked out past
Phyllis without including her in the
glance, and into the busy noon. Il
won't wait!" he said grimly. but as if
he had forgotten that any one else was
with him. vSs&~4

kle, "if We don't let any product go

that thing happened" cried Bralnard
in a sudden passion.
Van Wrinkle glanced at Phyllis. 1t

not this seem extraordinary to your"
But he nodded and shrugged toward
,Brainard. "All right" he answered
"And if I'm too slow, put young Well
ing on 1t. He's getting TO be shreWd

He turned and went out. Phyllis re-
membered fleetingly that her mother
had said Van Wrinkle had called often
while she was ill., He had not come to
see her since. She wondered why. She
wondered what form his apparent &C.
ceptance of his own peculiar situation
had taken in his mind But in these
hectic days no process in her brain
seemed normal, and his little mystery
had now no 1ower to pique curiosity.
She had seen him once or twice since
he had begun to be out, without realiz-
ng at all that his very presence among
hen, was riddle unanswered. Now
he did not care.
But Radley was talking-explaining
She did not know what he had said,
but he had thought it necessary to ex-
plain. Then he was willing still in some
degree to conciliate her.
The opening of the door again with
out knock interrupted him. Van
Wrinkle was back.
Excuse me, won't you?" he said
But here is one of the machine men
now. He has something to tell YOU

and his eyes, apparently weak, covered
by shell-rimmed, colored glasses, enter
ed behind him. He glanced about and
his gaze heSitated on Phyllis an instant.
Then he looked at Brainard and
waited for permission to speak.
''Well?" said Radley.

Brainard," the machine operator be-
gan. "A funny thing happened yester-
day at my machine"

to the machine man, as if with q

Brainard turned and walked halfway
across the room. There he stopped and
stood completely still, intent thought
arresting every muscle. Phyllis, vaguely
alarmed, watched him an instant. Then
her eyes went back to the machine
operator. She surprised on his face a
leer that told her instantly he had
been lying.
"Radley!" she exclaimed.
But the operators yace went blank
as Brainard turned. And Brainard
gave no heed to her.

But this manner grew absent as he
talked, as if the impetus of his i'm
pulse to give her his full attention had
tagged. She felt the chill of his with
drawal into himself and realized that
at least his assiduous activities in well
coming her had been purely voluntary.
He took up his telephone. LET me
talk to Van Wrinkle" he told the oper-
ator. What? Van Wrinkle, 1 said"
The sudden harshness of his tone was
startling. Van? How about those

Most of the buoyancy was gone again
from Phyllis heart. There was that
tendency in him to snatch at any pre-
text to express what seemed an itching
irritation toward her.
But a knock at the door interrupted
any reply she might have found to
make, and at Brainard's summons, Van
Wrinkle entered.
"Oh" Brainard greeted him, frown-
ing eXpectantly.

From any druggist, get 215 ounces
OF Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle

INSTALLMENT XVII.

TT WAS the next day that Phyllis
found she could remain away from
Radley no longer. 1t was with
i humiliation enough that she ad-
mitted it in her secret heart. She
was glad she had made no. confidants
concerning her unhappinesS about or
because Of him; it would seem natural
enough, now that she was able to be
out again, that she should go to the
scene of his activities. All the other
members of her family were going.
She was ashamed of her illnesS-that
she had been so weak as to let mere
stress of emotion break her down. She
told herself, as she had done since the
day when she first knew that Carol was
about as usual, that she had grossly
exaggerated the cause of her anXieties.
She shut her eyes to some OF the vivid
memories that shook this conclusion.
She refused to think, and assured her
self she had no right to try while she
was still far from strong. She tried to
evolve some plausible motive for going to
Radley's Offices other than the mere
craving to be with him; but she knew
1t was the hope that some better I'M
derstanding between them might result
which was driving her. So she adj
mitted it at last, and went.

NEW YORK, August 14.-One of the
most remarkable features of the present
bull market in stocks has been the in
ability of the so-called insiders" to
accurately measure the market value of
the shares Of corporations with which
they were identified.
Scores of instances have come to light
Of officers and directors Of manufacture
ing concerns, public utility companies
and railroads. who have sold out their
holdings Of stocks and advised friends
not to buy them because they could not
see where current prices were justified
on the bases Of earnings or future pros
poets. Many such sales have taken
place at price levels from 100 to 400
points below those now prevailing.
A striking illustration Of how far

brought out yesterday when the stock
Of the Crocker-Wheeler Electric Manu-
featuring Co. advanced nearly IS points

no offerings then under $50. In 1928 this
stock sold at ~. BY the end of the year
it had gone up to $50. When it reached
that figure some of those identified with
the company sold their stock and
thought they had shown excellent
