DR. CALDWELL
>
The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
ife treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of senna and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And 8s you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's
Byrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can uso it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Flderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,

The H istory of =
JohnJ. Doherty's Case
Fhree years ago 1 took a severe
cold, putting me directly to bed. After
a wonth’s treatmeat for pleurisy my
physician was baflled by the action of
my fever or temperature, which was
high one day and low the next, and
while he tried different prescriptions,
I didn’t Improve any, but
caine weaker,
“The doctor finally d te tap
me by running instru
ment into the left it if iy hack
and between the ertain if
pus was forming In my left lung. The
tapping resulted in the withdrawal of
a small quantity of j§ and the doc-
tor said it was forming so fast that
I must have an operation to extract
and draw out the pus. At the time
my heart pained me terribly because
it was three Inches out of place,
to the pressure of the fast accumulat-
ing pus. # t
« “I was ordered to the hospital for
an immediate operation or I would
be a dead man in 38 hours, The next
morning the surgeon removed one
inch of two ribs in the back, forming
a square cavity to remove the pus,
which squirted eizht feet from the
table. About two quarts was removed,
A rubber tube was then inserted in
the cavity to the lung for a drain,
which took about three weeks to per.
Jectly draln and heal the cavity.
“The doctors told me that I had to
take all precautions possible, as I was
subject to easily capturing tubercular
germs, due to the weakness of mv
lungs. For one whole year 1 used
several kinds of tonic and lung medi-
eines and didn't Improve much from
weakness, »
“Then I began the use of Milks
Emulsion and after a month's trial I
found myself with increasing appetite
and gaining strength, and today 1
have regained my natural weight and
strength and feel completely myself,
And the Joy of it Is, after using all of
the Milks Emulsion that I did it didn’t

liberty done that his name should thus be con-
signed to infamy and his likeness to contempt?
Aside from the everyday reminders of the
name and fame of George Washington, there are
many other ways in which his memory is pre
served. While there may be more statues of
Lincoln erected In various places throughout the
United States, Washington las been honored thus
wore in foreign countries. The Latin American
republics have not only memorialized him in
bronze and stone, but Simon Bolivar is known
quite as much ns the “Washington of South
American” as he is “The Liberator,” and Mexico
had a Benito Juarez, whom history calls the
sWashington of Mexico,” So there is a special
element of appropriateness in the fact that In the
Colonia Juarez in the capital of Mexico there
should stand a statue of George Washington.
in this country the outstanding memorial to
Washington is the famous obelisk which dom.
inntes the skylin. of our national capital. The
Washington monument originally was intended as
a tomb for the first President. The proposal to
erect the monument as a tomb was made by a
congressional committee, which launched the
project Immediately after Washington's death.
Permission to remov. the body from its burial
place at Mount Vernon was refused by the gen.
arai’s brother,
Charles Custis, a leader in the movement, pro
posed an earthen pyramid as a memorial. His
plan was to have all soldiers who had served
under Washington go to the capital, each deposit:
ing a shovelful of eurth in a designated spot. The
appeal proved popular and was seriously consid
ered until it was pointed out mathematically that
wefore the memorial could be near completed the

A «ite was given hy congress several years ago
to the George Washington Memorial association
for the specific purpose of erecting the kind of a
memorial it had proposed to build and endow. The
cornerstone wag laid by President Harding: since
then foundations have been completed and paid

site 18 at Seventh and B streets, where once
stood the old Pennsylvania rallroad station. In a
public meeting Chief Justice Taft urged that the
whole nation should contribute to the project,
which he deseribed as one of great national utility
The malin feature of the bullding will be a
vast auditorium with a seating capacity of from
7.000 to 11000 people. Besides this, it will have
govern! smaller auditoriums of varying capacity
for conferences, lectures and reunions. Each
state in the Union and each territory or colony
would have a room in the bullding which will
belong to it in perpetuity. When completed the
memorial will be under the government of the
Smithsonian institution.
One of the features of the great anditorium

In a word, the memorial will be a people's

The first itting proved
targely was Stuart's fault. For the fret time in
hia career he became nervous. He whe had jest
ed with kings and plas ed pranks upon his famous
teacher, Went was unnerved in the presence of
this great man. It always had been a custom with
him to draw out the subject's true pers snality in
the course of conversation while painting Put
Washington's manner precluded any possibility of
such & method resulting successfully Although not
austere. he was enlm and not commun cantive The
hard lines of his face, produced by those years of
airife, had not yet softened into a gen al expres
sion sufficient for Riuart’'s aims
However, Stuart went to work with nervous
encrgy and painted a portrait showing the right
side of the face. Afterward he destroyed it, de-
claring it unsuccessful. But he made copies of it,
the best known of which is the “GibbhaLhanning”
portrait now in the Metropolitan museum, New
York. At the second sitting Stuart executed a full.
length portrait showing the left side of the face
This painting is in the Lansdowne collection in

But the best of all was the result of a third sit.
ting. It Is sald Washington rebelled against this
third portrait, but yielded to his wife's entreaties
Another account is that Stuart was intentionally
ate on the afternoon of this sitting Im the hope
of getting a show of displeasure on the coun.
tenance of the punctual President. He wanted
some of the rough vigor he always liked in por.
traits of strong-willed men he #o loved to paint,
The resulting portrait, known as the “Athe.
nneum head” showing the left side of the face,
is the one now so widely accepted as a faithful
likeness of the great man. Mark Twain once said,
in facetious mood: “If George Washington should
rige from the dead and should not resemble the
Stuart portrait he would be denounced as an im-
postor!” The original bangs in the Boston Mu-

Stuart, it is =ald, had promised to present this
portrait to the family when it was completed, But
he was so pleased with it and found the business
of making replicas so profitable that he intention.
ally left the costume unfinished, although the face
was perfect. When Mr. Curtis, father of Mrs
Washington, made a trip, to Boston to remind
Stuart of his promise, the artist merely showed
nim the canvas and sald: "But you see, my dear

to spend much time on backgrounds, Fis interest

Stuart's last years were embittered by constant
fights against those who made eoples of his
famous portrait of Washington and sold them as

into the White House for a time.
