What DR.. Caldwell Learned
In AZ Years Practice

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
of constipation for At years, and be-
lieved that no matter how care
full people are of their health, diet
and exercise, constipation will &C.
cur from time to time regardless of
how much one tries to avoid it. OF
next Importance, then, is how to
treat it when it comes. DR.. Cald-
we'll always was in favor Of getting
as close to nature as possible, hence
his remedy for constipation, known
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, is a
mild vegetable compound. 1t can
not harm the most delicate system
and is not a habit forming prepara-
ton. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tast-
ing, and youngsters love it. 1t Goes
not grippe. Thousands of mothers
have written us to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hui
man beings to put into their system.
In a practice of Al years he never
saw any reason for their use when
a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will
empty the bowels just as promptly,
more cleanly and gently without
gripping and harm to the system.
Keep free from constipation 1t
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let a day go by

his mother and little sisters, and some
thing about the children in the trough.

out that the name of Mrs. Bennett

be sent to President Sammy at his

Per Capita Wealth

wealth per capita of 3,126, New Zea-
land follows with $3.029. The United
States is third with S2,9OS. Other i'm
portant countries are not far behind,
Canada following this country with
S2,779; Australia, s2,710, and Great
Britain, $2,677. At the tail of the pro-
cession is Russia, whose wealth is es-
timated at but S215 to the head Of

Wealth is saved capital, and statis-
tics show that a people with little
wealth may still be prosperous. even
though the living costs are relatively
