Druggist Takes
His Own Medicine

The man who sells remedies for most
Of the human ills, and hears day after day
the opinions of people who have used
these remedies, naturally comes to know
the superior from the inferior, and
when the time comes that he has to de-
eide on which remedy he will take, he
of course selects the one he has heard
the most praise Of. His own opinion,
coupled with that OF his customers,
ought to 90 far In convincing the layman that
the remedy the druggist selects Is the best In
the field.
J. NJ. Hawkins. q druggist OF Mound City,
bans., has sold medicines for q great many
years, and when finally he himself began to
suffer from stom ach trouble he had no hesitancy
In deciding which remedy on his shelf he would
take. IL was DR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.
Now, after having given II . good test. Mr..
Hawkins writes US that II justified his high
opinion and he Is cured.
II was the same with Druggist Kennedy, OF
Lexington, Ill. lie was not very robust, often
had constipation and such troubles. so, going
on what his customers w1o had used u told him.
he took Dr. Caldwels Syrup Pepsin and has
been a well mai ever since.
There Is no better remedy on the shelf Of any
druggist OF in all materta medica than DR.. Cald-
wells syrup Pepsin for obstinate constipation,
