Positive Relief
 For Constipation

The progress of modern medi- cal science is, perhaps, no more forcefully evident than in the simplifying of many of the old time remedies of past genera tions. For instance, the harsh cathartics and violent purgativeS used by our forefathers to relieve constipation are now known to be not only unnecessary but really harmful. Constipation can be more effectively relived without the discomfort and pain these old-ti remedies occasion.
 4 combination of simple laXa- tive herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of pr. CaldweIPs Syrup Pepsin is most effective. yet mild and pleasant.
