Keep Your
Bowels Opeg1
A Safe Certain Home Remedy that is Sold
BY All Druggists

A fact any doctor will verify is that
constpated people suffer most from dis
ease. Regular bowel action is absolutely
necessary to health People who are
constipated either part or all of the time
must use something to make their bow
els move. This should not be VIC
lent purgative or a cathartic that merely
tears its way through the bowels empty
ing them of waste matter for the time
but leaving them in a weakened state
that prolongs the constipated condition.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is an easy,
pleasant, natural laxative that removes
the waste matter and establishes regular,
daily movements without pain or grippe.
Children and delicate women should
never be given strong physic for it not
only weakens the bowels but the entire
system. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
serves as tonic and an aid to digestion
as well as laxative that is certain in its
effect upon the most obstinate old cases
and yet safe and pleasant for a baby

of constipation, such as dyspepsia, indi-
gestion. liver trouble, biliousness, fatu-
ency. sour stomach, sick headache, bloat-
ed stomach. etc, quickly disappear 1t
is a remedy that should be in every home
for every member Of the family at some
time has need of a safe. sure laxative.
Mrs. J. C. Cooper, Chicago, ILL.,, writes:
II use DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin for
myself and family. 1 keep it on hand

ant laxative and is all you claim for it."

not been for DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Fepsin.
