The voyage was apparently a slow one and caine to' an end when they were "beset since September 12." The evidence pieced together shows that the following year they must have traveled further south Into the channel named for the explorer, where they came Into a wider stretch of Ice and water.

CALDWELL AT THE ABE OP BE To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Montieello, HI., a practicing physician for 47 years, It seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old folks, had to be kept constantly "stirred up'' and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" or "physic" was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel "regularity" even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only Pup Worth Owning Automoblllsts passing through a town near New Orleans were perturbed when they saw a tiny dog run toward the car, heard his barks and then looked back to see the animal lying at the side of the road and a small boy bending over him. The car backpd and the tourists, told bv the youngster that the dog would probably die, gave him a dollar and continued on their way. At a filling station a mile or so farther on they learned something of interest. "That dog's trained to play dead whenever he runs close to an automobile," the filling station attendant told them, "an' I bet that boy has collected twenty dollar bills from people who have thought the dog was killed."
