THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOOVER'S PLEA TO OBEY LAWS PLEASES DRYS Glad President Selected Topic for His Address in New York. Bu United Press WASHINGTON. April 23.—leading drys were enthusiastic today in their comment on F > resident Herbert Hoover's law- enforcement speech in New York. They particularly were pleased that the President selected this topic for his address in New York, because of the widespread disregard for the prohibition law in that state. Senator Wesley L. Jones (Rep., Wash.), author of the “five-and-ten" law. said: “I am delighted that he made the speech in New York and I hope it will do a great deal of good. I have not read the text, but from what I have heard of it sec-ond-hand it expresses my sentiments exactly." Senator William Borah (Rep., Idaho) made the following comment on the speech: “We must, if we are to continue a government of law, .realize that the way to get rid of laws we do not like is to repeal them. That every citizen has a right to advocate. But while the law is there, we must respect and enforce it.” Borah declared the situation regarding enforcement of laws today is such “that it becomes necessary to organize the nation for their preservation and enforcement.” Other comment follows Senator W. J. Harris (Dem., Ga.): “It will have a fine effect on the entire country’ and I am delighted that he made such a strong statement.” Senator William H. King (Dem., Utah): “Constitutional laws should be obeyed and the executive departments of the government should be supported in their efforts to execute the laws enacted by the national and state legislatures.”

Doctor Found Women and Children Sick More Often than Men

Asa family doctor at Monticello, Illinois, the whole human body, not any small part of it, was Dr. Caldwell's practice. More than half his “calls" were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor nature—colds, fevers, headaches, biliousness—and all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated. In the course of Dr. Caldwell's 47 years’ practice, he found a good deal of success in such cases with a prescription of his own containing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and placed it on the market. The preparation immediately had as great a public success as it previously had in Dr. 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 nomes in this country that are never without a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and we have many hundreds of letters from grateful people telling us it helped when everything else failed.
