THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with chronic, per-
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with a consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and feeling of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
ommending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy In action, GER
tain in effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and is a remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. 1t Is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.0o
bottles. If you have never tried 1t

his allies as men who would give him
the double-cross or ruin him if a
