Women should
take only
liquid
laxatives
T0RE people could feel fine, be
fit and regular, if they would
only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one, the dose of
which can't be exactly measured.
Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use a liquid laxative,
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
m Reduced dosage is the secret of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use a little less laxative
each time, snd that's why it should
be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin '
Ask your drucgist for a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and if
it doesn't give you absolute relief, if
it isn't a joy and comfort in the way
it overcomes any sluggishness or
biliousness, your money back.

Sherman Hardaway had gone to Mis
souri and Mr. Stanley was unable to
get away, so Mrs. Morgan came on to
Wabash via the Missouri Pacili"
