In spite of the greatest personal care ana me most intelligent atten tion to diet babies and children will become constipated, and it is a fact that constipation and indigestion have wrecked many a young lite. To start with a good digestive apparatus is to start life without handicap. But as we cannot all have perfect working bowels we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or tram them to become healthy. This can be done by the use of a laxative-tonic very highly recommended by a great many mothers. The remedy is called Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and hasl Deen on tne market tor two genera tions. It can be bought, conveniently at any druz store for fiftv cents or one dollar a bottle, and those who are already convinced of its merits buy the dollar size. Its mildness makes it the ideal med icine for children, and it is also very pleasant to the taste. It does not hide behind the name of a fruit or a veget able and yet it is genuinely harmless. VeryNlittle of it is required and its fre quent use does not cause it to lose its r . t enect, as is tne case with so many otner remedies. Thousands can testify to its merits in constipation, indigestion, bilious ness, sick headaches, etc., among them reliable people like Mr. D. C. Head; Mgr. Head Drug Co., Ft.
