Wildcat Never Loses Its Savage Instinct

There may be more unpleasant
disposition than that owned by the
wildcat or bobcat, but If so, 1t would
be difficult to locate. Nature has
been kind in keeping the wildcat small.
1t Is untamable, intractably savage,
and, after years OF captivity, will snarl
and spit at every one who comes near,
even the keeper who feeds it.
1t is night-huntlng animal and
lives on small animals such as rabbits
or squirrels and on birds and even fish
paved out Of shallow streams. 1t is
lightning swift In its movements,
sharply clawed, and Its teeth, while
small. are needle-pointed. II is a
great climber and jumper and often
catches birds by leaping three or four
feet into the air as its victim rises
from bush or the ground.
Even the kittens of wildcat are
ill-tenpered and snarl and scratch at
the hand that attempts to stroke
them. The wildcat runges in many
parts of the United States, In Europe.

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR.. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1876, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, combination of SIENNA and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using DR.. Caldwelps
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs! &,
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,
or write "Syrup Pepsin," Dept. BIB,
Monticello, Illinois. for free trial bottle.

your care cannot prevent them. But you
can be prepared. Then you can do what
any experienced nurse would do-what
most physicians would tell you to do
give a few drops of plain Castoria. Nc
sooner done than Baby is soothed; re-
lief is just matter of moments. Yet
you have eased your child without use
of single doubtful drug; Castoria is

cannot pat away. And it's always

constipation or diarrhea; effective, too,
for older children. Twenty-Five million
