BLOOMING DALE, IND., Feb. 30, 1899. Pepsin Syrup Co. (TKNTLEMENAfter having given Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a fair trial in my family, I unhesitatingly pronounce it a great boon to all sufteripg from indigestion, constipation and dyspepsia in all their forms with all their train of evil consequences. I have fought dys­ pepsia aud constipation of a severe char­ acter for 25 yearR, have employed the most skilled physicians that I could reach, have spent hundreds of dollars and now I find more relief in this pleas­ ant remedy than I have found in any­ thing else. To all persons of sedentary occupations in life, I wish to say, buy it and use it. I have spent 12 years at the postmaster's desk, averaging 14 hours per day, and know now if I had had this remedy years ago it would have saved me much suffering. Respectfully yours, W. M. MCCOY, P.

I [The Plalndealer does not hold Itself respon­ sible for the opinions expressed in this col­ umn.--KD.1 Your Own Responsibility. If you want to see the slumbering'con- science of the American people awak­ ened against the liquor traffic, help the Protective Temperance Association. Its the mighty movement of the twentieth century, looking to the work of bringing every home in the land un- der the influence of powerful temper­ ance literature that will awaken the saloon. The plan is an assured success. The brainiest people of the land have said so, while thousands bid the movement God-speed. At last we are stepping from the darkness of the past into the light of the future. A now work is dawning before us, that not only promises to save our own native land from the curse of rum, but the world. Take courage; if it"is ever possible to break the hold of the rum power on our nation, it can be done now. Who will turn the "Searchlight of Truth" on the dark sin of this nation's complicity with the liquor traffic, if the christian people do it? This work rests upon us. We are the agents of God to do this work. It is not what your neigh­ bor, vour mother, your brother or sister is doing to save this nation from this curse that you will be called to answer to God for, but what you are doing yourself. If God has given you the power to sound the warning note to our sleeping millions, he will require it of you in the judgement day. You can do this, anyone can. If it is only the handing of a clipping of some striking thought from a newspaper to someone living in unconcern as to this( great evil, it is what God would have you do. You can do this you can do much more, You can go forward in the world with your means, your in­ fluence, your time, and awaken thous­ ands, who in turn will draw millions after them. On yonder summit you may take your stand and let your life become a light unto the world that will shine through this life and eternity. Young men, young women, of Amer­ ica, do you know that you are to be­ come the future of this nation? What shall it be? God grant that you may wake up.

Our hope is in working after they grow tired, and continuing to work 865 days in the year." Believing this fearful liquor business is the soil out of which springs four- fifths of the crime and poverty of our state, we cannot be true to our Chris­ tian convictions without bearing testi­ mony against this great wrong, a sin against God and man.--Northwestern MaiL - Colic and Diarrhoea.

As a cure for rheumatism Chamber­ lain's Pain Balm is gaining a wide repu­ tation. D. B. Johnston Richmond, Ind., has been troubled with the ailment since 1K62.

Well babies are plump; only the sick are thin. Are you sure the food is all right ? Chil-: dren can't help but grow; they must grow if their food nourishes them. Perhaps a mistake was made in the past and as a result the di­ gestion is weakened. If that is so, "don't give the baby : a lot or\ medicine; just use your every-day common sense and help .nature a little, and the way to do it is to add half a teaspoon- ful of SCOTT'S EMULSION to the baby's food three or four times a day. The gain will begin the very first day you give it It seems to: correct the digestion and gets the baby started right again. If the baby is nurs­ ing but does not thrive, then the mother should take the emulsion. It will have a good effect both upon the mother and child. Twenty- five years proves this fad. H", \".
