Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send a free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands OF women

DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a.
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
it is mild and never gripes. II is all
that child's remedy should be,
though it is a good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. 1t is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics,
which should not be given to chill
dren under any circumstances.
