Most Old People
Are ConStipated

The wear of years impairs the
action of the bowels. As people
grow older they restrict their
activity, neglect to take sufficient
exercise, and indulge a natural
disposition to take things easy.
The digestive organs become
more sensitive to the demands
made upon them and rebel more
quickly.
1t is of special importance to
the health of elderly people that
the bowels be kept normally
active. A mild, yet effective,
remedy for constipation, and
one that is especially suited to
the needs of old folks, women
and children, is the combination
of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin sold in drug stores under
the name of DR.. Ca1dwell'S
Syrup Pepsin. 1t costs only
fifty cents a bottle, and should be
in every family medicine chest.
A trial bottle, free of charge,
can be obtained by writing to
