Splendid Laxati
for
Has Been Prescribed by Well Known
Physician for Many Years.
The infirmities of .age are especially
manifest in a tendency to constipation,
and call for treatment that
will afford relief in an easy, natural
manner. The rapid action of cathartic
remedies and purgatives that
shock the system should be avoided,
more especially as the relief they
afford is only temporary and is
usually more th&n offset by disturbance
to the vital organs caused by
their violent action.
Nearly thirty years ago Dr W B
Caldwell, Monticello, 111, prescribed
a compound of simple laxative herbs
that has since become the standard
household remedy in thousands of
homes. It acts easily and gently, i
yet with positive effect, without
griping or other pain or discomfort. 1
Mrs Rachel Allen, Galesburg, Kans, i
is seventy-one years old, and after 1
lining a bottle of Dr Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, wrote that it had done 1
her a world of good and that she | (

TO AILING WOMEN.
I Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
a Sufferer in Kingstree. J
No woman should consider herself c
lealthy and well if the kidneys are 0
veak, Poisons that pass off in the "
irine when the kidneys are well are ^
etained in the body when the kid- ^
leys are disordered. This is the true
:ause of many bearing-down pains,
ameness, backache, etc. Uric pois- p
ining also causes headaches, dizzy _
pells, languor, nervousness and
heumatic pain. e
When suffering so, try Doan's ^
Cidr.ey Pills. You will get better |
is the kidneys get better, and health _
vill return when the kidneys are
veil. Let a fellow sufferer tell you fi
