That is one sure way to train tiny bowels to healthy regularity. To avoid the fretfulness, vomiting, crying, failure to gain, and other ills of constipated babies. Dr. Caldwells’ Syrup Pepsin is good for any baby. For this, you have the word of a famous doctor. Forty-seven years of practice taught him just what babies need to keep their, little bowels active, regular; keep little bodies plump and healthy. For Dr. Caldwell specialized in the treatment of'women and little ones. He attended over 3500 births with out loss of oue mother or baby. Dn. W. B.
