What Dr. Caldwell Learned
 in AZ Years Practice

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and be- lievcd that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Of next importance, then, is how to treat 1t when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. is mild vege- table compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting. and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect.
 pr. 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. In practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as mptly. more cleanly and gently without gripping and harm to the system.
 Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your ar teries and brings on premature old age Do not let day go by with out a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and

 Bears Age Lightly
 Lightly does Gomez bear the weight of his 72 years. Straight as taut string. Gomez ii wiry; he is thinner than he was 10 years ago. The sweep of hair across his wide forehead is greying. and his mous- taches lack the picturesque upwal d twist of his earlier campaigning photographs. He wears goldrimmed spectacles part of the time. The Gomez bow bears the true Latin polish. plus boldness natural to the man who has ruled Venezuela For two decades.
 The Gomez diet is light one. Breakfast and supper are scant meals. A substantial dinner is eaten in midday. Gomez does not drink. He smokes three cigars or less each o4 hours. He boasts that he can live perfectly on two dollars a day. From this two dallars he would have to save enough for the movies for almost every night Gomez sees the cinema.
 Good roads, the army. farming and stock raising. Best of all he likes agriculture. 'The earth weeps when they do not work it, and re- turns in gold the sweat with which it is watered," is enc of his fav- orite maxims. He will not allow a tree to be cut if it can be avoided. Not long ago a great ceiba tree in Caracas. the corner of the capitol, was found to be undermining and destroying the foundations of San Francisco church and business build ings nearby. Permission was asked to cut the tree. Said Gomez: "Let the old tree alone. You can build another church in two years, but it takes centuries to grow ceiba."
