An Effective Laxative
For Growing Children
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Highly
Recommended as Family
Remedy.

In children the slightest irregular
ity of the bowels has a tendency to
disturb the entire digestive system,
and unless promptly remedied invites
serious illness. The experienced moth
er knows that by training her chill
dren to regularity in this respect, and
when occasion arises administering a
mild laxative, she will have little need
for the doctors services.
Mrs. Leo Weigand, 1851 Central
Ave., N. S., Pittsburg, Pa, whose two
boys, Frank and Joseph, are shown
in the illustration, writes that she has
found DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a
most effective laxative, not only for
the children but also for herself, and
that she will always keep it in the
house to use when needed. DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is combination
of simple laxative herbs with pepsin
that acts easily and naturally, with
out gripping or other pain or discom-
fort. 1t is pleasant to the taste so
that children like it, and is equally eff

fective on the strongest constitution.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be
obtained at any drug store for fifty
cents, and should have place in every
home. 1t will save many times its cost
in lessened doctor bills and maintain
the health of the entire family. To
avoid limitations and ineffective sub,
stitutes be sure to get DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin. See that a facsimile
of DR.. Caldwell's signature and his
portrait appear on the yellow carton
in which the bottle is packed. A trial
bottle, free of charge, can be obtained
by writing to DR.. w. B. CALDWELL 455
