I Most Old People Are Constipated The wear of years impairs the action of the bowels. As people grow older they restrict their activity, neglect to take sufficient exercise, and indulge a natural disposition to take things easy. The digestive or gans become more sensitive to the demands made upon them and rebel more quickly. It is of special importance to the health of elderly people that the bowels be kept nor mally active. A mild, yet ef fective, remedy for constipa tion, and one that is especially suited to the needs of old folks, women and children, is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It costs only fifty cents a bottle, and should be in every family medicine chest. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald well, 450 Washington street, Monticello, Illinois. ™ e /' ve Broken Through! •-2 Yes, Triangles have broken through and found a great big glad hand. They're running wild all over Philadelphia.
