Stomach is Quick to Upset When
School Children Are Idle
VACATION days are days of over-eating and under-exercising
for most boyj and girls. They loll around nibbling at light
food, unconcerned whether the fruit is green or ripe.
The remit it cramps, (Lin eruptions,
pimple, "summer colds," constipation
and diarrhea. The basis of such trouble
is an upset stomach, and nothing will
give safer and quicker relief than the well
known Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
It is just a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin, a formula evolved
some 30 years ago by Dr. did well
himself. Syrup Pepsin is now used by
, A
millions of people and is today the you, address to Dr. W. B. Caldwell
largest-selling liquid laxative in the world. 480 Washington St.,' Monticello, III.

Each of these is laid with great geo

examine texture and color, watch
for worm-eaten holes, and sniff for
a rich, oiley smell. Again and

the boss calls the closing time, then
out into the night they go, the hap

When there Is a supply of stemm

Some Clo it from ignorance: som
from carelessness: some in a spirit
of martyrdom and some from a
mistaken sense of duty impelling
them to go on sacrificing them

Thousands of women have learned
bt'ttor; have found out that it'a
wrong to suffer from the peculiar
Ills of womanhood; because they
need not c"o it.
