MOTHER, BABE BURN Kerosene Blast From Stove Destroys Ranch House. Jiu United Prcxt NEWCASTLE. Wyo., Oct. 18- Flames belching from a stove in You have a Doctor's Miml for thie IN 1875, an earnest young man began to practice medicine. Aa a family doctor, he treated many cases of constipation. He soon saw the harm in common purges and began to seek something better. Out of his experience was born a famous prescription now in wide use. This prescription was written thousands of times. It proved an ideal laxative for old and young. Children like its pleasant taste. Older people like it because it doesn’t gripe or cause discomfort. It is a mixture of fresh herbs and other pure ingredients; thoroughly effective for the most robust of men. Stimu lates the normal muscular action of the bowels. So its use will not become a habit. As people saw how marvel- THE L. ils/i-rOLio xi.i -bS which she sprayed kerosene resulted in the death of Mrs. Monroe Adkins and her 15-months-old daughter at their ranch home twenty-five miles west of here, it was learned -today Mrs. Adkins, aflame from head to foot, ran to help her baby, out re alizing she would start the baby’s" clothes afire, rushed out of the house screaming for help. The ranch house soon was a mass of flames, trapping the infant. Mrs. ously the most sluggish bowels are started and bad breath, head aches, biliousness, feverishness, or no energy, poor appetite, etc., are relieved by Dr. Caldwell’s prescription, it became necessary to put it up ready for use. Today, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, is the world’s most popular laxative. All drug stores have the generous bottles. The product never varies from Dr. Caldwell’s original formula. So you can take it with confidence or give it to the youngest child. Dr. W. B.
