V: i 1 'i r l t'i K:a HqiiqHuo ffcr gEird fib I have preached to mothers for years to be careful what they give their children for bowel trouble. Not everything is fit for the delicate organs of a child. Cathartic pills are too strong even when crushed or broken in half, and salts and purgatives are both too strong and bad-tasting. Then what is the remedy? "It should be a liquid, in which the taste is disguised so as to make it palatable, and it must be mild and not gripe. The remedy that fills these require ments is . ' : Dr. Caldvvoll's Syrup Pepsin and drupgists have sold it for me for a quarter of a cen tury. Mother; ire giving it to their children today who 1 were given it by their parents when they were children, and the grandparents are still using it. There is no better laxa tive obtainable for children, women and old folks, for these especially need a gentle though none the less effective rem edy. It is a guaranteed cure for constipation, liver trouble, sick headache, heartburn, sour stomach, etc. Given to the child before retiring, or in the morniifg on arising, it will be relieved in a few hours, and a brief use of it as directed will prevent a recurrence of the trouble. To prove my claims I will send a free sample bottle to anyone on receipt of name and address. Then, if convinced, buy it as oth ers do of your druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle.
