Why Hospitals Use
a Ljquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctors have always
i utod liquid laxatives. And the public
irtitst reluming to laxatives in liquid
fom. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
rMulated to suit individual neod. It
forms no habit; you need not take a
"Rouble dose” a day or two later.
Nw will a mild liquid laxat'm irritate
I the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings a perfect movement, and there
is no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepain
brings safe relief from constipation.
It gently helps the average person’s
bowels back to regularity. Dr. Cald-
Wl's Syrup Pepsin is an approved
liquid laxative which all druggists
keep reedy for use. It makes an
ideal family laxative; effective for
all ages, and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. R. A.

Eight Million in
Loans Closed
During January
Columbia, S. C.—Sustaining the
pace set in December The Federal
I.and Bank of Columbia will close
over $8,000,000 in loans during the
month of January. Through Friday,
January 26, 4,927 loans totaling
$7,813,083 were closed. The average
daily loans number approximately
200 with the amount per loan around
$1,600.
According to President F. H. Dan
iel of the Land Bank appraisals are
now on a current basis and 48 hours
after an application for a loan is
received by the bank it is in the
appraisal division. The time required
for appraisal and to return the pa
pers to the bank is from ten to fif
teen days.
Where the abstract is furnished
promptly and creditor agreements
secured in the case of compilation
of debt, the time required to close
a loan is about four weeks. In many
instances at the present time it is
the borrower who delays the bank
and not the bank who delays the;
borrower.
With loans being closed in appre
ciable amounts tax receivers in many
communities report back taxes of
several years standing being paid up.
