Burroughs Tribute to
Beauty of the Winter

He who marvels at the beauty of
the world in summer will find equal
cause for wonder and admiration In
winter. 1t Is true the pomp and pag
eantry are swept away. but the es-
sential elements remain-the day and
the night, the mountain and the val
ley. the elemental play and success,
sion. and the perpetual presence of
the Infinite sky. In winter the stars
seem to have rekindled their fires, the
moon achieves fulled triumph. and
the heavens wear a look of more ex-
allied simplicity. Summer Is more
wooing and seductive. more versatile
and human, appeals to the sentiments
and affections. and fosters inquiry
and the art of impulse. Winter Is of
more heroic cast and addresses the
intellect. The seyerer studies and dis.
cipline come easier In winter. One i'm.
poses larger tasks upon himself and
Is less tolerant of his own weaknesses

SAME PRESCRIPTION
HE WROTE IN 1892

When DR.. Caldwell started to practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for. =
laxative we're not as great as today.
People lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relied
of constipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beingl
The prescription for constipation 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 mild. safe
bowel stimulant.
This prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. 1t has won the confidence OF
people who needed it to get relief from
headaches, biliousness. fatulence, indi-
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your
