A Constipation
 Remedy Free

There is no action of your daily life of greater importance than to see that your bowels move. They should move at least once day naturally, and by that is meant without any help. IT they do not move at least once day you can consider yourself constipated and it is time you did something about it.
 You will be glad to know there is a way out of the difficulty. Lem Ill, Elmer McMillan of Speed Mo-, Mrs. Monahan of Stonewall, Miss, and many others were as you are now. But one day they awoke to the fact that Dr.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin was curing their friends, so they bought it too and it cured them. Today they are loud In praise of it.
 What Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin did for them it should do for you. surely your constipation is no worse than theirs, one of whom had it since 6l. It only remains for you to realize that salts are of but temporary good, and what you want is permanent cure; that purgative tablets, cathartic pills and such violent things make a great show of doing something. but do nothing that is lasting. pr. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin is scientific prepara- tfon, a laxative-tonic, a mild syrupy liquid that contains ingredients that not only cure the, constipation, but tone the intestinal muscles so that they learn again to work without help. A bottle can be bought Of any druggist for the small price of 50 cents, and there is dollar size for families who have already found out it's wonderful value in stomach. liver and bowel troubles, in old or young.
 Send your name and address to the doctor and 2 free trial bottle will be Aent you so that you can test 1t be- fore buying.
