Keeps Her Children
 Tn Perfect Health
Dr.. Ca1d,DeD's Syrup Pepsir, the Family Laeative for
 Mary Years

Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld of Carlyle, H., recently wrote to Dr. Caldwell, at Monticello, Ill.,, that she has used Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin in her home for number of years, and would not be without it, as with it she has been able to keep her four children in per feet health.
 Dr. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels in an easy, natural way, and regulates the action of this most important function. Nearly all the sickness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and a mild, depend able laxative, such as Dr. CaldwelPs s Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. It is pleasant to the taste and children like it, and take it readily, while it is equally effective for adults.
 Dr. CaldwelFs Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug stores everywhere for fifty cents a bottle. To avoid limitations and ineffective substitutes be sure you get Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. See
