Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 36, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 June 1904 — The Hygiene of Old Age. [ARTICLE]

The Hygiene of Old Age.

We look upon the aged with good reason as having a slender hold upon life, one that may be loosened by a shock of injury or disease which, in the young or middle-aged .would serve only as a stimulus to the reparative vital powers. This is a conservative belief, but it warns us to shield our loved ones who have fought the fight, from all influences which might shorten their stay with US' But w’e must not go too far in our solicitude, for injury may be inflicted and life shortened by coddling the old, almost as surely as by coddling the young. The vital processes in the aged are so slow, but they are still existent, and they may be kept active by gentle opposition and stimulation. just as they may be increased in childhood and youth by rough methods. Dr, Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. and Herb Laxative Compound is a boon to the aged and infirm and probably no medicine has accomplished so much, of received as high or as many indorsements from men and women whose extreme age gives them a seemingly slender hold upon life, Dr, Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin makes perfect digestion and acts gently upon the bowels in an easy and pleasant manner. Tones up the entire system and prolongs life. SQo and $1 bottles at A.F.Long’s
