Learn the simple secret of the exerciser in the vest-pocket box for a dime! Millions know it! Cascarets make bilious, head achy. constipated people feel won derful. Their effect is not only quick, but it’s lasting. They give the bowels as much real exercise as r they get from an hour in the sad dle. Oils, salts and ordinary laxatives do not act like Cascarets. These things produce only mechanical or chemical action. They actually weaken the bowels. You have to keep dosing with them. Each time you use Cascarets. your bowels become stronger. They are made from Cascara Sagrada, which stimulates the natural pristaltic action of the bowel muscles. Noth ing else does this. That accounts for the popularity of Cascarets and their tremendocs sales of over 20 million packages a year!

Sageeyah, Okia.—“I have taken Black-Draught ever since I was a child, and can recommend it as a » splendid medicine for family use,” says Mrs, Cora Maberry, of this place. “My mother used it, in bringing up her family, and after I had a home of my own, I con tinued to use it, as I thought it was especially good to give the chil dren. “My children did not mind taking Black-Draught, and so when they got upset with stomach spells, or were constipated, I gave them Black-Draught tea. "If I found that they were tak ing cold, I was quick to start giving them Black-Draught, as.it helped them to throw off the impurities which caused the trouble. “My children are all grown now and have homes of their own, but I still keep Black-Draught in il'e house and use it myself when I wake I up in the morning feeling duli and ‘headachey’, and have a bad taste in my mouth. “Black-Draught is a simple rem edy for constipation, and I prefer it to others because it is purely vegetable.

Cald well’s practice. More than half his ^calls’’ were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usu ally of a minor nature—colds, fevers, headaches, biliousness—and all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated. Tn the course of Dr. Caldwell's 47 years’ practice, he found a good deal of success in such cases with a pre scription of his own containing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this for , inula in the manufacture of Ur. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and placed it on the market. The preparation immediately had as great a public success as it previ ously had in Ur. Caldwell’s private practice. Now, the third generation is using it. Mothers are giving it to their children who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone somewhere is going into a drug store to buy it. There are thousands of homes in this country that are never without a bottle of Ur. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin, and we have many hundreds of letters from grateful people telling us it helped when everything else failed.
