f SYRUP PEPSIN
TtHllrtsfortgpod humor
I Mothers!! Apply Common Sense I
THIS is the era of the pretention
of disease and sensible people
do not wait until sickness has ac
tually come before remedying the
trouble. The crowded hospitals
everywhere are sad examples of
the ‘results of neglect. Be espe
cially watchful of children. Rest
lessness, lack of normal appetite
and feverishness usually indicate
constipation. Stop it that instant
with a spoonful of Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin and you will have
prevented real sickness. Mrs.
Ida Williamson of 1637 Pine
St., Long Beach, Cal. and Mrs.
Ix.ii Brawley of Self, Ark., never
have illness in the family because
of their prompt use of Syrup Pep
sin.
A Great Family Laxative
It may be difficult to decide
just what medicine to use out of
the manv that are offered, but it
would not be if you knew the
facts. There are laxatives, cath
artics, purgatives and physics, and
thev varv in their reaction on the
system. Naturally, tne
stronger the medicine
the more it shocks the
system, so wise parents
never give anything but
a laxative to children.
Dr. Caldwell's Svrop
Pepsin is a mild laxa
tive. a vegetable com
pound of Egyptian
13 —
senna with pepsin and desirable
aromatics, and so appreciated
that it is now the largest selling
preparation of its kind in the
world, over 10 million bottles
being used annually. The formula
is on every package. >
Three Rules of Health
Purchase a bottle of Syrup Pep
sin at a drug store and alwaya
keep one in the family medicine
chest. Give it to anyone from
infant to grandparent, for it ia
safe, and the cost ia less than a
cent a dose. You can keep a fam
ily healthy with just this simple
medicine. Give it for constipa
tion, torpid lix’er, indigestion, bil
iousness,headaches,colds and other
ex-idence of bowel obstruction.
Dr. Caldwell, who was a practic
ing physician for 47 years and
who originated thia formula, bad
three roles of health that he found
very effective among his patients
and which you can follow with
great benefit: Keep the bead cool,
the feet warm.andthe bowels open.

You plant your W]
garden with faith— *
faith in what?
IF there ever was a demonstra
tion of faith on your part, it is
when you plant a garden.
You have faith in the soil—
faith in the weather—faith in
your own efforts.
But your greatest faith of all
is in the seeds you plant You
expect those seeds to come up;
you expect the plants to produce
beautiful flowers and tender, fla
vorful vegetables which are true
to name and type. And you
will not be disappointed unless
those seeds are of uncertain
ancestry.
To be sure that your faith is
never misplaced, plant Ferry’s
purebred Seeds. For Ferry’s
purebred Seeds are as true to
type and name as it is possible
for care and skill to make them.
More extensive trials are made
at our experimental farms than
anywhere else in the United
States to determine that Ferry’s
Seeds will reproduce their ideal
parent plant.
Buy Ferry’s Seeds with confi
dence. Plant them with faith
that they will produce in abun
dance and quality. You can feet
Ferry’s purebred Seeds “at the
store around the corner."
W\rile for Ferry's Seed Annual. It is full of
garden facts. Get it non' before you plant.
