Nearly all the sickness incident to a baby's life is due to constipation, or inaction of the bowels. At the first in dication of irregularity in this impor tant functton, relief should be afforded promptly. A mild laxative should be administered to gently carry oft the congested waste and Icavo the stom ach and bowels free to perform their allotted tasks. Of the various remedies recom mended to relieve constipation, the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, as prescribed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Sy rup Pepsin, is the most effective. It containus no opiate or narcotic drug, is pleasant to the tast, mild and gen tle in action, and quickly brings the desired relief in an easy, natural man ner. Mrs. C. J. Douglas, Mason, 111., writes that she cannot say enough In praise of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a dependable family laxative. Lit tle Mary Eva had been badly consti pated until they tried Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which brought the first natural relief the child had had inltwo weeks.
