Hitchcock was looked upon Us the

Says Simple Remedy

DR.. Cald,VelPs Syrup Pepsirl
Effective as a Remedy
for Constipation.

Among older people the various or
gans of the body have a tendency to
slow up and weaken, and this is usual
ly first manifest in a pronounced mac
tivity of the bowels.
Good health is dependent on regu-
larity in this important function;
when ever there is the slightest indi-
cation of constipation a mild laxative
should be taken to relieve the conges-
ton and dispose of the accumulated
waste. Cathartics or purgatives should
not be employed, however; these are
too violent in action and their effect
is only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the combin-
alton of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, known as DIR. Caldwell'S Syrup
Pepsin, is the ideal remedy. 1t is
gentle in its action, bringing relief in
an easy, natural manner. without grip
ing or other pain or discomfort. is

Mr.. Robert LeForgee, 91S Kirkwood

the past eighteen years. and that by
