confronted with the fact that they
can no longer digest everything
they would like to eat. 1t then
becomes their daily task to avoid
what they know to be chronic con-

When exercise and light diet
fail it will be necessary to resort to
artificial means. Strong physics

advisable for elderly people. They
act too powerfully and q feeling Of
weakness results.

DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
which is a combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin. 1t
