You Subject
to Constipation
Here Is q Simple Way Of Cor
recting II Instantly Before
it Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thousands
injure themselves by the use OF
strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
ters, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
1t is true, but the good effect 10 soon
lost, and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
A. physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained
by using a scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but Is what II is represented to be.
mild laxative medicine. II is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
1t to tiny infants, and yet It is so COM
pounded, and contains such definite
ingredients that It will have equally
good effect when used by person
suffering from the worst chronic con
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
II Is a fact that millions OF families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house. homes like those OF Mrs. G.. p
Pruitt, Berea. Ky. who used DR.. Cald

Fuller's Earth.

Fuller's earth, so named from It's

value depends altogether on its tex
