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.

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.

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

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.”
