When relief does not come readily, it is an excellent plan to take a mild laxative at bedtime. Cathartics and purgatives, that by the violence of their quick action shock and disturb the system, should not be employed. An effective laxative remedy that is very dependable, and which does not gripe or otherwise disturb the BHSflP organs involved, is found in a com- wSB lunation of herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that can be bought at the drug store for fifty cents a bottle. a Mrs. C.
