Continue It for Only a
Brief Period and the
Good Results Will
Surprise You.
A low state of the general health
is now the accepted cause of back
wardness in children. So in the case
of a backward child it is best to look
toward building up its health. It will
usually be found that the main trou
ble is in the food, in lack of assimi
lation and digestion. Hence care
should be taken in the kind of food
given to the child. This, with plenty
of air and exercise, should bring about
a change for the better.
Watch the conditions of the bow
els, to note whether the waste is be
ing passed off or not, or whether it
is being passed too freely. If either
condition prevails give a small dpse
of that gentlest of all laxative-tonics,
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Thou
sands of mothers will testify to the
wonders it has wrought in the lives
of their own children, and for that
reason legions of families like those
of Mrs. J. E. Brunty, 1903 Ninth Ave..
Nashville, Tenn., are never without it
in the house. Mrs. Brunty writes:
“Harry had always been constipated
until I gave him Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. L am certainly going to keep
this medicine In the house in future,
for I know it to be good.” It Is pleas
ant to the taste and so perfectly safe
that it is given to infants, and yet is
equally effective for grown people. All
druggists sell It, and the price is only
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the
latter for families who need it regu
larly.
■mm-
HARRY BRUNTY.
Syrup Pepsin has no equal as a cure
for constipation, indigestion, bilious
ness, headaches, sour stomach, gas on
the stomach, liver trouble and kindred I
complaints. It has so many advan
tages that those who once use it for
ever after discard cathartics, salts,
pills and other coarse remedies, for 1
they are seldom advisable and should
never be given to children.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would
like to matte a personal trial of it be
fore buying it in the regular way of a ,
druggist, send your address—a postal
will do—to Dr. \V. B. Caldwell, 417
Washington Street, Monticello, Ill.,
and a free sample bottle will be mailed
