Constipation, or inaction of the bow must enecuve remeay is me combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The Hon. John D. Keister of Brandywine, W. Va., who has represented his district in the State Legislature for six years, writes that he uses Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and finds it a splendid laxative, easy to take and mild, yet positive, in its action, and that it should be in every household for use when needed. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists in all parts of the United States and costs only fifty cents a bottle.

Aft?r His Historic Qusrrsl With Wslsa ths Bssu Won s Sartorial Triumph That Almost Choksd His Royal Master With Envy and Dismay. It was Beau Brummel who was described as "the glass of fashion and the mold of form," and today there are ordinarily only two things which the name of the famous dandy of the English court suggests. One is an arbiter of fashion, the other the incident in which Brummel asked of a companion of the Prince of Wales, "Who is your fat friend?" In 1836 Beau Brummel still was living, and the New York Mirror, a weekly publication "devoted to literature and the fine arts." Drlnted a bloernnh leal sketch of him as a figure In contemporary history. Reading It today makes very real a character now little more than a tradition. "For an obscure Individual without fortune or rank to have conceived the idea of placing himself at the head of society in a country the most thoroughly aristocratic In Europe, relying, too, upon no other weapon than well directed Insolence; for the same Individual to have triumphed splendidly over the highest and the mightiest?to have maintained a contest with royalty Itself and to have come off victorious even in that struggle? for such a one no ordinary faculties must have been demanded," the Mirror said In its issue of June 4, 1830. It will be well to recall here that George Bryan, Brummel's father, was Lord North's secretary; that the son at Eton and later at Ballol college acquired a reputation for being a "swell dresser," and that still later he was a favorite of the Prince of Wales, who whh iu uBcorae licorge XV. of Great Britain. The Mirror related the famllinr story of the "fat friend," Immortalized in a Punch cartoon, explaining the circumstances which led up to it. A mutual friend had dared Brummel to give an order to Wales, who was then prince regent, and at a dinner the dandy said to him, "Wales, ring the bell!" The prince did so and when a servant appeared said, "Show Mr. Brummel to his carriage." It was to repay the regent for this public humiliation that Beau Brummel uttered his famous question the next day in the street. The prince was growing corpulent and sensitive of the fact, so a feud between the two was launched with the remark. It is an old story up to this point, but the Mirror proceeded with some facts which probably have never been published since. Brummel boasted that he would put the prince regent out of fashion, made his plans at once and sprang his coup at a brilliant hnll given by the Duchess of Devonshire. In the Mirror's own words: "When tllo wholA nssomhlv wopo nnn versing upon his supposed disgrace, Ilrummel suddenly stood in the midst of them. Could it be indeed Brummel? Could it be mortal who thua appeared with such an enclncture of radiant glory about his neck? Every eye was upon him, fixed in stupid admiration; every tongue, as it slowly recovered from its speechless paralysis, faltered forth, 'What a cravat!'" And then the description of the cravat which confounded the guests at the Duchess of Devonshire's ball: "There it stood, smooth and stiff, yet light and almost transparent; delicate as the music of Ariel, yet firm as the spirit of Regulus; bending with the grace of Apollo's locks, yet erect with the majesty of the Olympian Jove; without a wrinkle, without an indentation. What a cravat! The prince regent saw and shook, and, ottering a faint gurgle from beneath the wadded els, a condition that nearly everyone experiences with more or less frequency, is the direct cause of mu:!i disease. When the bowels become clogged with refuse from the stomach, foul gases and poisons are generated, and unless the congestion is quickly relieved the system becomes weakened and most susceptible to attack.
