As we write, the indications are that the clerk of the weather is girding up his loins, preparing to give us an old-fashioned Santa Ana wind. We use the term "old-fashioned" advisedly, for of late years these winds have been much less frequent than formerly. More's the pity. During the time the wind is on the rampage, it is disagreeable enough, but the recompense comes afterwards in an atmosphere cleared of every impurity, and to breathe which is too shallow physical and mental vigor Nature knows what it is about and those who lament the occasional occurrence of these dessicating winds don't know when they are well off.

THREE STEPS
TO RELIEVING CONSTIPATION
A cleansing dose today; a smaller quantity tomorrow; less each time, until bowels need no help at all.
Why do people come home from a hospital with bowels working like a well-regulated watch?
The answer is simple, and it's the answer to all your bowel worries if you will only realize it: many doctors and hospitals use a liquid laxative.
If you knew what a doctor knows, you would use only the liquid form. A liquid can always be taken in gradually reduced doses. Reduced dosage is the secret of any real relief from constipation.
Ask a doctor about this. Ask your druggist how very popular liquid laxatives have become. They give the right kind of help, and right amount of help. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara — both natural laxatives that can form no habit, even in children. So, try Syrup Pepsin. You just take regulated doses till Nature restores regularity.
