Egyptian Marriage Contracts

Marriage contracts were in vogue
among early Egyptians, according to
tablets found in the Nile region by
explorers. The earliest known nup-
tial contract there dates from $50
b. c., the terms of which were drawn
by the husband. 1t has been trans
lated as follows: "Since God willeth
that we should unite one with the
other in righteous wedlock, after the
manner of every free man and every
wise woman, therefore l have given
thee four dollars in gold as bridal
gift. And for my part l will not
neglect thee. Neither shall 1 put
thee forth without a cause, having
legal ground. But should 1 wish to
put thee forth, 1 will pay seventeen
dollars for the matter"

DIR. Caldwell loved people. His
years of practice convinced him
many were running their health by
careless selection of laxatives. He
determined to write harmless pre-
scription which would get at the
cause of constipation, and correct it.
To-day, the prescription he wrote
in 1885 is the worlds most popular
laxative! He prescribed mixture
of herbs and other pure ingredients
now known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, in thousands of cases where
bad breath, coated tongue, gas,
headaches, biliousness and lack of
appetite or energy showed the
bowels of men, women and children
were sluggish. 1t proved successful
in even the most obstinate cases;
old folks liked it for it never gripes;
children liked its pleasant taste.
All drugstores today have DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin in bottles.
