The Twilight Of Life.

The mucles of the stomach in old age are
not as strong or active as in youth and in
consequence old people are very subject to
constipation and indigestion. Many sell
dom have bowel movement without arti-
fetal aid. Many, also have unpleasant
eructations OF gas from the stomach after
eating. All this can be avoided by the use
of DR.. Coldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
permanently regulates the bowels so that
passages come naturally, and so strengthens
the stomach that food is digested without
discomfort.
