Prof. Hertzog Praises
This Perfect Ld1atiDe
Dr.. CdIdDeRs Syrup Pepsin
an Ideal Remedg for
Constipation

In every family there is more or less
occasion for laxative remedy. 1t is to
meet this need that DIR. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and that this
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin fulfills its purpose is prov
en- by its place in thousands of Amer
lean homes.
Prof. F. J. c. Hertzog, the well
known linguist, 2341 North Orianna ST.,
Philadelphia, Pa, wrote to DIR. Caldwell
that he has used DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin in his household with excellent
results and that he and his family
consider it indeed friend in need, and
always keep bottle of it on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and is a condition
that should never be neglected. Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatives
should never be employed to relieve
constipation, because the very violence
of their action shocks the entire sys-
tenn. A mild laxative, such as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is far preferable,
being mild and gentle in its action,
without gripping or other pain or dis
comfort; its freedom from all opiate or
narcotic drugs makes it an ideal rem
edy for children.
