DR.. A. j. Lieurance of this place. advised
me to try DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which did and two bottles cured me.

so that have not been troubled since.
If any one should offer me $500 for the
good Syrup Pepsin has done me l would
not think of taking it. No one can take
your medicine without being convinced
of its more than wonderful cures. I
recommend it to all my friends as lax
