Arc You Slipping ?

MOST men begin to “slip” at about 35 or 40. Many women begin to lose their youth at 25. Animation, vivacity, disappears. Life is slipping away from people of this sort. They are accumulating death in the form of minute cells that clog the tissues and handicap the functional processes. So many people start out in life full of ambition and enthusiasm. They are stirred with thoughts of great things that they intend to accomplish. But when they begin to slip all is changed. Life becomes a hard drive. Pleasurable moments are few and far between. Every day is prosaic, commonplace, and at times hard to endure. It is at such times that suicide becomes inviting. • If you are engaged in business you soon find yourself in a rut you cannot advance; you are on a downward path. Your home life is unsatisfactory; and a home to deserve the name demands vigorous fatherhood and splendid motherhood. When health disappears from the home, happiness goes also. When you begin to slip, slowly biit surely you lose your business acumen; your ability deteriorates. And without ability and

DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83

While Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, 111., a practicing physician for 47 years, knew that constipation was the curse of advancing age, he did not believe th&t a “purge'' or “physic" every little while was necessary. To him, it seemed cruel that so many constipated old people had to be kept constanly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to "regulate” the bowels of old folks. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but each dose helps to

business foresight, life in these strenuous days is a hard taskmaster. You actually begin to die on your feet Death stalks at your side. God help the family that depends upon a father or a mother who is so benighted as to accept with equanimity tho verdict that he or she is “slipping.” If you are “slipping” you cannot blame anybody else. The fault lies within yourself. You have transgressed the laws of life and health you are paying a penalty you richly deserve. You are dying because you deserve to die. Wake up to your possibilities. # Every human entity is entitled to vigorous, pulsating, vital health. Ignorance and carelessness are the cause of “slipping” and premature death is the result, not occasionally, but in all instances. Read PHYSICAL CULTURE and get out of the “has-been” class as soon as you can. It will open your eyes, expand your reasoning capacities, and bring you in direct and immediate contact with those simple laws of life that you may have outraged almost from the day of your birth. ’
