Trial Is Free

II is a popular mistake that only
wealthy people who eat rich and
highly-spiced foods suffer from dys-
pepsia, or, as it is also known, indi-
gestion. The laborer in the street,
the worker in the field also finds him
self victim Of this disorder. Among
the very greatest sufferers from it are
women.
dyspepsia is indicated by a constant
FEELING OF laziness, by loss OF appetite and
tress after eating. by bad complexion and
lusterless eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure for
this trouble than DR.. Caldwers Syrup
Pepsin, which dyspeptics have been using
successfully for twenty years. This great
herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark,
OF Buffalo. Ia. of dyspepsia and sour
stomach that he had had for forty years,
or until the lucky day that he heard Of
Or. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. IL cured
Joel Adams, of Montgomery. Ala. after
suffering continuously for sixteen months.
These are only few Of the many But
IL Is not expensive TO be cured with this
grand remedy, as IL can be bought at any
drug store in a 50-cent or 81 bottle.
Your very neighbors are probably life
long users OF DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
but IL you want to know without expense
what IL will do for you personally. send
your name to DR.. Caldwell and he will be
glad to send you a free trial bottle. He
Is actually anxious to have YOU make a
test Of his remedy.

gency as constipation, sour stomach, in
