Well Known Remedy
RelieveS Chronic Case
Important to Dispose of Waste
from the Stomach With
Regularity.

People frequently attribute to fail
ure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive
bowels. and apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to ag-
Sravate than to relieve the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually be
depended upon. To keep the bowels
in condition there is no more effec-
tive remedy than the combination of
simple laxative herbs known as DR.
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin which is sold
in drug stores for fifty cents a bottle
DR.. Caldwell has prescribed this
remedy in his practice for over a
quarter of a century and ii is to-day
the standard household remedy in
thousands of homes. Mr.. Thos. De-
Loach with the Department of In
terror. Office of Indian Affairs, at
Washington, wrote Dr. Caldwell re-
Gently that "Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin is the best laxative | have any
knowledge of and the cleaning up
guaranteed by it's use relieves every
organ"
