constipation and Indigestion have
wrecked many q young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to,
start life without handicap.
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxative-tonic

DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. It can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar a bottle, and those who are
already convinced of its merits buy
the dollar size.
Its mildness makes 1t the ideal medi-
icine for children and 1t is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t Ia sure in
its effect and genuinely harmless.
Very little of it Is required and its
frequent use does not cause 1t to lose
its effect, as is the case NTH so many
other remedies.
Thousands can testify to It's merits
in constipation. indigestion. bilious
ness, sick headaches, etc, among them
