How 10 Cure
indigestion
Well Known Family Physicisn Gives Good
Advice

when a person cannot eat ordinary
food without discomfort afterward, when
he has heartburn. sick headache, gas
on the stomach, water brash, belches up
sour food, and this condition has contin-
ued for a week or more, it certainly is
time to do something and do it quickly"
That's what a popular physician recently
said to the writer. "First thing you
know you'll have dyspepsia if you DON'T"
said he.
The quickest and best way to regain
your normal condition is to step into the
drug store and buy a soc bottle of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t gives nat
ural, daily movements to the bowels, and
that is usually where more than half the
trouble lies. Then it aids digestion,
sweetens the stomach, acts on the liver
and is general system tonic.
Postmaster Ridgill, of Bruceville, Tex,
had such a severe attack of dyspepsia
that his stomach, liver and bowels
seemed almost paralyzed, but few doses
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsn relieved him
and today he is well as ever. Maude Hall,
Alpena, Mich, says that one bottle cured
her Of a very severe case of Indigestion.
A. L. Espich, Chief of Police, New Phil
adelphia, Ohio. says: II find Dr. Cald-
Indigestion / ever used. I would not be
without it, Rev. A. J. Fletcher, Ruthe-
ford, Tenn, is now 80, and yet it cured
him Of stomach trouble of 60 years stand
ing. Mrs. Matte Crouch, Tiptonville,
Tenn. cured her five months old baby OF
Indigestion with it, so you see that while
it is so effective it will cure cases OF

ton in old people, it is perfectly safe for
babies, and it is pleasant to take, and
