Why Children Need a Liquid Laxative 'enswii Mr. and Mrs. Abner Lyon. The temporary relief children get fn»n unwise dosing with harsh cathartics may cause bowel strain, and even set-up irritation in the kidneys. A properly prepared liquid laxative brings a more natural move ment. There is no discomfort at the time and no weakness after. You don’t have to give the child “a double dose” a day or two later. Gan constipation be safely rabeved in children? ‘‘Yes!” say medical men. “Yes!” say many mothers who have fallowed this sensible medical advice: 1. Select a good liquid laxative. 2. Give the dose you find suited to the system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose, if repeated, until the bowels are mov ing naturally without aid. An approved liquid laxative (one that is widely used for children) is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. The mild laxative action of this excellent, preparation is the best form of help for children — and grown-ups, too. The dose can be regulated for any age or need. Your druggist sells Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The native bat appears to be the only natural mamalion in habitant of the Hawaiian islands. The Susannah Wesley Bible Class will meet .
