Are You Subject

Here Is a Simple Way of Cor

It Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thousands
in1ure themselves by the use Of
strong ,cathartics, salt mineral wa

have temporary value In some cases,
1t is true. but the good effect is 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 scientific remedy like DR..

1t Ia a fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those of Mrs. G. B.
Pruitt, Berea. KY, who used DR.. Cald-
