This Simple Laxative
a Household Necessity
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Should Have a Place in
Every Home

Constipation, or inaction OF the
bowels, a condition that nearly ev
cry one experiences with more or
less frequency, is the direct cause
OF much disease. When the bow
els become clogged with refuse
from the stomach. foul gases and
poisons are generated, and unless
the congestion is quickly relieved
the system becomes weakened and
most susceptible TO attack.
Various remedies 10 relieve con-
stipation are prescribed. but many
OF these contain cathartic or purga-
tive agents that are harsh and vio-
lent In their action and shock the
system. The most effective rem
edy is the combination OF simple
laxative herbs with pepsin that is
sold In drug stores under the name
Of DIR. caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
