The Standard Remedy
in Countless Home,
Relieves Constipation Easily without
Gripping or Discomfort.


Gripping or Discomfort.
Indigestion and constipation are two
conditions that are closely related and
the cause Of much physical suffering.
The tendency to indulge ones appe-
tite is more or less general and most
people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion of the overtaxed or
gans OF digestion and elimination. A
pleasantly effective remedy, that will
quickly relieve the congestion Of poi
sonous stomach waste and restore
regularity, is the compound OF simple
laxative herbs sold in drug stores for
fifty cents a bottle under the name Of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This Is
mild. pleasant laxative tonic, free
from opiates or narcotic drugs, and
has been the standard household rem
edy in thousands Of homes for many
years
Mrs. Oliver Young. Merrill. Wis.
writing to Dr. Caldwell. says, she
knows of nothing so effective for
regulating the stomach and bowels !;
since taking Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin she feels ten years younger;
her work seems easier and she has
regained her appetite.
