The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence, avoid what seems to constipate tha child, or to give it indigestion, and urge it to take more what is quickly digested. If the child shows a tendency to constipation it should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills, etc. What the child requires is simply a small dose of the gentlest of medicines, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which in the opinion of thousands of watchful moth ers is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things can happen to a con stipated child that care is necessary. Catching cold, piles, headaches, sleep lessness, and many other annoyances that children should not have can usu ally be traced to constipation. Many of America's foremost families are never without 8yrup Pepsin, be cause one can never tell when some member of the family may need it and all can use it Thousands endorse it among them the mother of Albert Adison Spence, Reeds Springs, Mo., and Mr. Frank Nagel, Notary Public, Dorchester, Wis., who buy it regular ly of their druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter size be- attended.
