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 ig in the food, ip lack of assimi lation and digestion. Hence e are 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 dose 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. K. 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. I 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. , j 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 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 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 make 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. W. B. Caldwell, 417 Washington Street, Monticello, Ill., and a free sample bottle will be "mailed you.
