Simple Laxative Remedy
Best for Constipation
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin Gave
Satisfaction When Nothing
Else Would

Nearly every one, at one time or
another, suffers from constipation, or
inactive bowels, and one of the few
conclusions upon which the doctors
agree is that regularity of the bowels
is an essential to good health.
In the family medicine chest of most
well-ordered households will be found
one or more of the various remedies
recommended for the relief of consti-
patton. In the majority of homes to-
day the combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin known as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is recognized
as the standard laxative. Druggists
everywhere report a constantly in
creasing demand for this splendid
remedy which is sold for fifty cents
a bottle.
Mr.. James Ash, lO2 Green ST., Cum
berland, Md, wrote to DR.. Caldwell
that he found DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin the most effective remedy for
constipation he had ever used and
that he always keeps bottle of it on
hand for use when necessary.
DR.. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin is a
mild laxative, and does not grippe
or strain, butts acts gently and brings
