Ob ' tainable everywhere *1 Reliable Laxatr Relie Child was Badly ConsllDated Until Mother Tried Simple Remedy. In spite of every care and attention to diet, children are very apt to become constipated, a condition responsible for many ills in after life unless promptly relieved. Mrs C W Wilson,Shelbyville.Tenn, had trouble with her babv boy, Woodrow, until she heard of Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. She writes, "I can safely say Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best remedy of its kind on earth. It acts so gently and yet so surely. Little Woodrow was very badly constipated and we could find nothing that gave relief until we tried your Syrup Pepsin, which gave immediate relief." Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs, free from opiates or narcotic drugs, mild in action, positive in effect and pleasant to the taste. It has been prescribed by Dr Caldwell for more than a quarter of a century and can 3 STATE and GENERAL ? j TOPICS ? . /W\ > 1\ /I\ /W\ /W\ /"IN /%\ /Ts /1\ /W\ More than 30,000,000 people are now living under State prohibition of the liquoT traffic.

SPENT FORTUNE IN 20 YEARS HUNTING RELIEF I MRS LAWSON WAS DETERMINED TO WIN. i BELIEVING SUCCESS AT HAND, COLUMBIA LADY TELLS OF HER MANY DISAPPOINTMENTS. About twenty years ago Mrs E J Lawson, of 400 Duke Ave, Ridgewood, a suburb of Columbia, began an effort in her interest that only her great determination and abiding faith in her ultimate success enabled her to continue for this long time. But, at last, after many disappointments, she says, she believes the end is now in sight. Even now she feels better. Beginning in a new wav about five weeks aeo. she savs. she is now rejoicing in the considerable measure of success she has met. "I spent a fortune trying to get relief," she said. Mrs Lawson explained that she had been in search of some preparaj tion which would successfully combat indigestion and several of its accompanying ills, with which she said she had suffered for almost a generation. She continued to say that she had tried dozens of medicines, but after she began taking Tanlac, the master medicine, she immediately noticed a change for the better. Just think of it - for twenty years she had worried along with a physical trouble, which Tanlac, after the first few doses, she said, noticeably relieved. Mrs Lawson told of her effort to restore her digestive organs to normal in the following statement: "For twenty years, I suffered, moreorless severely,with indigestion and several accompanying ailments. I had headaches frecfuently which j tended to make me miserable. Af: ter eating I would suffer with gas on my stomach, and a heavy feeling in thp rpcrirm nf mv atr>mo/*V? M? ; ?" VIIV t V* UVVHJUVU. food disagreed with me, and I lackl ed energy. My system showed in several ways the strain it was undergoing. "After reading so much about I Tanlac for several months, and hearing my friends tell of its value, 1 decided to try it,though I had tried, in the past, many other preparations without satisfactory results. I spent a fortune trying to get relief, and had become skeptical, to a degree, of all medicine. Hut, at last, I have found Tanlac, and it seems to be just what I desired. "I have just finished taking my fifth bottle of Tanlac, and my stomach seems in better condition. My food digests better, and indigestion gives me much less discomfort. My , health is generally better, and my system is performing its functions ! much more satisfactorily. My head is clearer, and my appetite is imi proved. "I shall be glad to tell anyone of ; the benefits Tanlac has been to me. | It is worth saying a good word for." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold at Kingstree Drug Co, Kingstree.
