DR. CALDWELL'S GUIDE
TO GOOD HEALTH
The natural tendency of people in
this busy age to demand of the di-
gestive organs more than nature in-
tended they should perform, frequent-
ly results In throwing the entire di-
gestive system Into disorder. When
the stomach falls to freely digest and
distribute that which Is eaten, the
bowels 'become clogged with a mass
of waste and refuse which ferments
and generates poisonous gases that
are gradually forced into the blood,
causing distress and often serious ill-
, ness.
Dr. W. B. Caldwell says that If the
bowels are kept regular there will be
much less sickness, and prescribes a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that is most effective in
relieving any congestion of matter in
the bowels. This compound can be
bought in any drug store under the
name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
and costs only 50 cents a bottle. It Is
mild in its action, pleasant to the
taste and positive In effect, a dose at
night bringing relief next morning,
naturally and without griping or oth-
er discomfort. A bottle of Dr. Cald-
well's Syrup Pepsin in the house will
save many times its cost in doctor
bills. Your name and address on a
postal to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 203 West
St., Monticello, 111., will bring a free
trial bottle by return mail. Adv.

ITCHING, BURNING ECZEMA
317 S. Wolfe St., Baltimore, Md.—
"My trouble was caused by a severe
sprained ankle; the bruised blood not
having been drawn off caused a skin
affection which the doctors pro-
nounced eczema. It first started with
an itching and burning, with very dry
akin Constant scratching, especially
during the night finally broke the
skin, and during the day the waterv
fluid that came from It would dry and
peel off like fish scales. My stocking
would stick to my ankle as if ft were
glued. I also had it on my fingers.
"I was treated without getting any
benefit I began using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment as directed and then ap-
plied the Cuticura Ointment and bound
the ankle with a soft bandage, after
bathing It with Cuticura Soap. They
cured me In about two months.'

"See that scale out there," sqld the
butcher, laying down his knife and
Jerking his finger toward a large scale
that was standing outside the butcher
shop. "Well, I suppose you have the
same idea that most of my other cus-
tomers have. They think I keep It
there to weigh meat on. I don't I
will let you into a secret and tell you
why I placed the scale there. It is to
weigh my customers on.
"You would be surprised if you
knew how many of my customers
desired to be weighed. Most of them
are women and 4hey always bother
me at my busiest time, which is Satur-
day. They think when they come In
here and buy a pound of steak or
chops thst In return for their custom
I ought to lay down my work and go
outside and weigh them.
"Every one knows how sensitive a
woman is about her weight. If you
tell a woman that she Is gaining weight
you might as well tell her not come
around and deal with you any more.
They worry a great deal about It I find
that it pays to be dicreet when you are
weighing a woman. You can judge
from their conversation how much
they think they weigh, and never
shock a woman by telling her she
weighs more.
"Don't pay any attention to the
scale If it shows that the correct
weight Is five or ten pounds more than
the amount the woman said she
weighed. Use your head and you will
be able to retain customers. Other
butchers have lost customers because
they made the mistake of telling cor-
rect weights.
"Most women go to the country in
the summer to gain weight The best
plan when they come home Is to tell
them they gained a few pounds. The
first thing a woman does when she
comes home Is to come around here
and have me weigh her. To make
her feel happy and to satisfy her that
her trip to the country has been bene-
ficial to her health I add a few pounds
to the amount the scale registers.
There are many women who do gain
weight while they are in the country.
To these I always tell the correct
weight because, if one of them thought
she was getting too heavy, she might
cut down her purchase of meat
"In the winter I pursue a different
course. Most women like to think they
are getting slimmer In the cool months.
When they come around to be weighed
I slice off a few pounds from the fig-
ures on the scale and send them away
feeling fine. How do I remember their
weight? No, I do not keep a record
of It I don't have to. The women do
It for me. A woman's weight is
one of her chief sources of worriment
and she keeps her weight in mind and
dally Informs me of it With a little
quisling Just before they step on the
scales I am able to find out Just what
they think they weigh, and the rest
is easy.
•The scale also helps me to improve '
my business. Now and then a new
customer drops In. She may be
new In the neighborhood or she may
have been dealing with some other
butcher. If I decide that the new cus-
tomer is a critical person I tell her
my meat is the best in the vicinity. ,
Then I request her to step out to the
scale and find out her weight I take
afew pounds off her correct weight
When she has been patronising me
for a month I weigh her again. This
time I add a few pounds and she goes
home with the impression that she
is growing heavier without getting
stout She gives my meat the credit
That Is the secret of how I manage to
keep my customers dealing with mo

"About three years ago as the result
of doing two men's work, attending a

details of another business, my health
broke down completely, and I w

"I suffered from Indigestion and m-
stlpatlon, loss of weight and appetlt*
bloating and pain after meals, loss of
memory and lack of nerve force far

"I became irritable, easily angered
and despondent without cause. The
heart's action became Irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of natol-
tation during the first hour or two
after retiring.

permanent, in weight us well as in
physical and mental endurance. In n
