1W, 1932 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMPCK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER SIX T They’ve Never Tasted a Tonic! T HESE are not patent medicine children. Their appetite needs no coaxing. Their tongues are never coated, cheeks never pale. And their bowels move just like clockwork, because they have never been given a habit-forming laxative. You can have children tike this— and be as healthy yourself—if you follow the advice of a famous family physician. Stimulate the vital organs. The strongest of them need help at times. If they don’t get it, they grow sluggish. Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin is a mild, safe stimulant. When a youngster doesn’t do well at school, it may be the liver that’s lazy. Cftten the bowels hold enough poisonous waste to dull the senses! A spoonful of delicious syrup pepsin once or twice a week •will avoid aH this. It contains fresh laxative herbs, active senna, and pure pepsin, and does a world of good to any system —young or old. You can always get this fine prescriptional preparation at any drugstore. Just ask them for Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin. Get some syrup pepsin today, and E rotect your family . from those ilious days, frequent sick spells and leolds. Keep a bottle in the medicine chest instead of cathartics that so often bring on chronic constipation. Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin can always be employed to give clogged bowels a thorough cleansing, with none of that painful griping, or burning feeling after ward. It isn’t expensive. m WHEN LIFE IS AT STAKE ' ' * • . V ■'V ^ ■ 1 and a prescription is needed, then the careful and accurate filling of that prescription means every thing. Just the right drugs must be used and the right amounts of each* The drugs must be fresh and pure, and everything must be just right, or life may • be lost. We fill prescriptions correctly and at very moderate prices. Bring them to us day or night. STROMS’ DRUG STORE MAIN STREET McCORMICK. S.

M PEOPLES BANK McCORMICK, S. C. I THE FAMILY .DOCTOIRi JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. “FIELD NOTES” One of my friend-patrons came into the office this morning. He is a fine specimen of manhood, a good family and a reliable citizen. But, he came to me ten days ago with ACUTE ALCOHOLISM Some earnest advice—a medicine to take the place of the stuff that MUST be let alone—and he was on th& road to recovery; rapidly be coming himself again. Very well. Almost ready to return home to his wife and grown-up daughters Yesterday, he told me this morning, he met an acquaintance, a traveling salesman, a “hail fellow well met.” This fellow was equip ped with a real arsenal—a quart of bootleg liquor, that he kept to treat his customers. My man “broke over,” and today is entirely off the mineral water wagon. Not drunk, not at all maudlin, but just a little extra steam on. Of course he is sorry and repentant, but he mustn’t go home for another week to face that trusting wife and daughters: I mention this for my readers, so that they may know how we physicians have to struggle with the “ncule experiment” that we have, and which some hug to their breasts as bearing the sprouting seeds of the millenium, when they fondly expect a “DRY” world will emerge from its moonshine coils. It is all well enough to talk about, but its practical working is another thing, or it is so here. There is not a minute of the day or night when the victim of dipso mania can’t go out and help himself to liquor, if he has the price—not bonded liquor, but bootleg! Why don‘t I stop it? My dear sir, I’m not a federal officer; if I were, that traveling salesman is probably 200 miles out of town this morning, charging some other man’s battery. No, folks, we shall have to devise some other way. THE OBITUARY PAGE m m m Once I was talking with Kent Cooper about what interests people in the newspapers. ■N He said: “When a man gets to be about forty-five years old he discovers the obituary page.” I certainly am not a gloomy minded person, but I have always thought more or less about death. The attitude of a large portion of the human race toward it seems to me infantile and silly. It isn’t a pleasant subject but certainly it is an inevitable one. Why dodge and pretend and act like children? Said Caesar: “Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.” All of which leads me to remark that th2re is a certain advantage in discovering the obituary page comparatively early in life. The tragedy is that some men never discover it. I have seen a doddering old millionaire, with one foot in the grave, fighting with a taxi-man over a nickel, or trying to beat down the price of a neck-tie. I once sought a contribution to charity from a millionaire who was well over sixty and notoriously tight. He told all the reasons why he couldn’t give up a cent, and as he warmed up to the subject he began to act as if my call were an insult. Finally I said: “Why are you so mean? Why do you deny your self pleasures and squeeze every nickel? It isn’t your money; it’s your children’s money, or will be in a few years. Why let them have ail the pleasures? Why not have the fun of giving some of it away?” This rude remark shocked him. I think it started a line of thought that made quite a change in his life. Moses prayed: “So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” I assume that to mean that, when we get along toward middle life and note by the papers that men of our own age, or a few years older, ! are dropping off, we ought to stop and take stock. We ought to say: “As life goes I have maybe ten, fifteen or, at the most, thirty years. Therefore, I ought to quit thinking—How much money can I pile up? and begin thinking—How can I be sure to do all the things I want to do, see all the places I want to see, and leave behind me a reputation for having been a reasonably good and gener ous individual?” It would help if the papers would print at the top of the obituary page every day this quotation from Rosseau: “The dead take to the grave, in their clutched fingers, only that which they have given away.” CHURCH 1 omcEMNys Episcopal Church Schedule Preaching services at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, Willing ton, are as follows: Every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sunday at 4 o’clock p. m.
