No woman would wear dresses, or
blouses, or stockings of a color that's
decidedly out of style or faded, If all
o f us knew how easy It Is to make
things fresh, crisp and stylish by the
quick magic of home tinting or dyeing.
Anybody can tin t or dye successful
ly w ith true, fadeless Diamond Dyes.
T inting with them Is ns easy as bluing,
and dyeing takes Just a little longer.
New, stylish colors appear like magic,
right over the old, faded colors. Dia
mond Dyes never spot, streak or run.
They are real dyes, like those used
when the cloth was made. Insist on
them and save disappointment.
My new 04-page illustrated book,
"Color Craft,” gives hundreds of
money-saving hints fo r renewing
clothes und draperies. I t ’s Free. Write

DR. CALDWELL

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed oa
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herb« and roots. These art
s till the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of senna and
other mild herbs, w ith pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
