Simple Laxative
Best for Constipation
Dr. Caldwell*s Syrup Pepsin
Gave Satisfaction When
Nothing Else \%ould.
Nearly every one, at one time or an
other, suffers from constipation, or in
active bowels, and one of the few con
clusions upon which the doctors agree
is that regularity of the bowels is an
essential to good health.
In the family medicine chest of
most well-ordered households will be
found one or more of the various
.remedies recommended for the relief
of constipation. In the majority of
homes to-day the combination of sim
ple laxative herbs with pepsin known
as Dr ; Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
recognized as the standard laxative.
Druggists everywhere report a con
stantly increasing demand for this
splendid remedy which is sold for fifty
cents a bottle.
Mr. James Ash, 102 Green St., Cum
berland, Md., wrote to Dr. Caldwell
that he found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin the most effective remedy for
constipation he had ever used and that
he always keeps a bottle of it on hand
for use when necessary.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
mild laxative, and does not gripe or
strain, but acts gently and brings re
lief in an easy, natural manner. Its

The following prescription is being
widely tised for breaking up severe
Coughs and Colds. Get from your drug
gist a small jar of Famous Forkola anil
thoroughly spread over throat and
chest covering with a piece of warm
llannel. The warmth of the body
quickly releases certain ingredients
that are part of the Famous Forkola
prescription in the form of medicated
vapors that are inhaled all night long
through the air passages, while the na

FEARED TO FOLLOW
TRUTH HE FOUND
Nicodcmus Favored Above AIJ
Men Did Not Become Disciple
Until Too Late
(By William T. Ellis.)
Of all the great dramas in that
richest storehouse of literature, the
Scriptures, there are only two or
three that equal or surpass the tragedy
of the scholar and aristocrat, who
first heard the fullest exposition of
the olivine message and mission of
Jesus, and yet lacked the courage to
follow the truth he had learned. That
is a hell. To know the better and to
do the worse; to see the great with
out the nerve to forsake the common
place; to have heard a call of highest
duty, and then to have slunk back
into the dreary ruts of expediency
and convenience earth has no
worse torment than this state of mind.
The slackers and shirkers of the
European war are no such cowards
as the enlightened men and women
who lack stamina to follow truth
whithersoever it may lead.
With the misguided kindliness of
Christian teachers, it has been cus
tomary to hold up Nicodemus as a
creditable character, and an honor
able man, blinking the clear fact, that
although favored above all men. he
did not become a disciple of Jesus
until too late to comfort the heart
of the lonely Teacher, who would have
leaned heavily upon the comradeship
of one such scholar as Nicodemus.
Imagine what it would have meant to
our I,ord to have had a member of
the sanhedrin for a disciple! Only
once while Jesus lived did Nicodemus
open his lips in defense of the Mas
ter; and that was when the court of
which he was a member, was plot
ting the death of Christ. Nicodemus
timidly expostulated, "Does our law
condemn a man unheard?"
i Swift came the snarling reply:
•Art thou also a Galilean? Have
any of the rulers believed on Him?"
And Nicodemus shut up like a clam.
John, who ulone makes mention of
Nicodemus doubtless had the gtory
from the lips of Nicodemus himself,
after the resurrection, for, inspired
perhaps by a look cast upon him by
the doomed Saviour, Nicodemus at
last escaped from his torment of fear
and indecision in time to bring gifts
to the body of a dead Lord. We may
easily imagine the self-reproaches
with which the proud Pharisee con
fessed to John the Beloved his dis
loyalty and cowardice. John con
ceals his friend's name as he records
the explanation of the entire experi
ence: "Even of the rulers many be
lieved upon him but because of the
Pharisees they did not confess it; for
they loved the praise of man more
than the praise of God." Would that
the tragedy of Nicodemus could ring
in the ears of every young person in
the land.
A Scholar Stooping
Let us be fair to Nicodemus. He
really had a position to consider. He
had gone to the top rung of the lad
der of success among the Jews, for
he was a member of the sanhedrin.
He was a judge and teacher of his
nation. "U herever he went ho was a
marked man, and honored by all.
Other men stepped aside to let him
pass, and his ears were quite accus
tomed to the sweet music of over
head whispers: "That's Nicodemus,
the great scholar and judge. He's a
good man as well as rich and great."
An aristrocrat, a gentleman, a public
man with traditions and official posi
tion, Nicodemus had much at stake.
Despite all, he came to Jesus.
Score that to his credit. He was
open-minded enough to investigate
new truth. He dared condescend to
visit this humble Galilean and confer
with Him. True, he "came by night,"
and that tag, "by night," is affixed
to him m every mention of his name
in the Bible and in history. His
courage was not of the daylight sort.
He kept out of the light, for he was
afraid of 'what they say."
John's picture of Nicodemus is
like one of the portraits by the old
Dutch masters: mostlx darkness and
shadow and background. The high
light is that the eminent Pharisee,
fully conscious of his social and ec
clesiastical standing, really did come
to Jesus. He was not a young man,
either: it is easier for the young to
accept new ways and new ideas and
adventure new experiences.
With all his inherited and acquired
prejudices against Galilee and against
radical teachings, Nicodemus stooped
to visit this new rabbi, the engage
ment having doubtless been made in
advance through a servant.
When Teacher Became Pupil
Dodging ever to the darker side
of the narrow Jerusalem streets, and
following at a distance the servant
who led the way with a torch, went
Nicodemus, filled with the thought of
his own condescension in seeking out
this new teacher fom the North, and
not at all sure that he was acting
wisely in so doing. His phylacteries
and his bearded face, and his robe
which marked his office, were hidden
benealh the folds of an all-envelop
ing cloak. It was a relief to him
when they had ascended the outer
stair to the upper room in the house
of a friend where Jesus lodged. Nico
demus knocked at the door of Him
who pictures Himself as knocking at
the door of all hearts; and he was
promptly received, while the servant
waited without. *
No great artist has painted that
wonderful picture:—The proud ec
clesiastic with the bearing of his state
and power, and the humbly clad
Young Man from Nazareth, each
studying the face of the other in the
flickering liKht of an ancient oriental
lamp. As became his position in
his own estimation the visitor op-

. The Man WIIO Heard Tlie Uttermost
' To have heard Luther's defense at
I Worms would have been a high privl
i lege, and the experience of a life
jtime. To have been among the listen
ers to Paul's address in Jlar's Hill,
|or to Peter's sermon at Pentecost,
1 would have made one a marked man.
| But think what it meant to have
| heard, hot from the lips of Jesus
Himself, illustrated by His beaming
eyes and ravishing smile, the concen
tration of all the truth of the Gospel,
tho supreme utterance of Om
niscience, "For God so loved the
world that he gave his only-begotten
I Son, that whosoever believeth on
I him should not perish, but have
eternal life!"
That greatest of all words was
spoken to an audience of one, and
Nicodemus was tho man. The Living
Word uttered the vocal word of ut
termost salvation, which Luther used
to call, "the'little Gospel" and the
man who heard it had not the cour
age to be true to this superlative
revelation! To Nicodemus Jesus un
folds His passion, in the picture of
the uplifted cross. To Nicodemus He
made clear the unique mission of

He unfolded the Old Testament as
