Laxative for
Women Free

There is a great difference in the
purposes to which a laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc,
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
iul for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only
mild laxative-in fact, none other is
needed by anyone, weak or strong though
tisey may be, for the object is simply to
move the bowels, and If a gentle laxative
will do 1t, what is the use of a violent
one?
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin has earned
a we'll deserved vogue among women and
chihdren and old folks-people who must
necessarily be careful Of what they take.
II Is liquid laxative tonic and ad-
bowel remedy before the American people.

ach, sick headache, heartburn and such
like digestive complaints. Its use for q
short time will remove the trouble en-
tireiy so that future medication will be
unnecessary. Its tonic properties build up
the stomach and intestinal muscles SO
that they act naturally again. That this
