What to do
in Dyspepsia

Dieting has become a great fad in
America, and just as, years ago, we, as
a nation, over-ate, so now we are under
eating. The one is as bad as the other.
Man needs food and plenty of it to sus-
tain life and to give strength to compete
IN this busy world.
1t is not, however, the fact that you
may eat too much that hurts you, but
that you don't digest what you eat.
And II that results In dyspepsia you will not
cure the trouble by cutting down your food sup
ply. II your digestive organs were creating the
proper amount OF gastric and peptic juices you
would nave no dyspepsia To cure the disease
you must create an abundance Of these necessary
juices. =
This can only be done by reliable tonic laxa-
tive. and. as its name indicates. DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin contains the very ingredients
needed TO do this. Take IL regularly for awhile
according 70 the explicit directions on each bot
sic and you win soon be cured OF dyspepsia and
any OF the accompanying symptoms such as
heartburn, sour stomach, bloated stomach. hives,
pimples. sallow complexion, wind on the stom-
ach. etc. Every bottle carries with 1t an abso-
Lutte guarantee 70 do what we claim. 1t is gem
tie pleasant, effective laxative and you will like
its taste and be pleased with its action
One OF the great friends OF this remedy is
Harry f. Keator, lieutenant in one OF the Chi
cago companies that fought at the battle OF
Santiago While in the wet trenches, and eat
Ing the rough food OF soldier. he contracted
severe dyspepsia and lost weight rapidly. A
