TAR. w. B. Caldwell Of Mon
ticello, Illinois, was and is a
family doctor. The whole
human body, not any small part
Gift, was his practice. More than
half his calls were on women,
children and babies. They are
the ones most often sick. But
their illnesses were usually OF q
minor nature colds, fevers, head
aches, biliousness- land oil of
them required first q thorough
evacuation. They wereconstipated.
DR.. Caldwell in the course Of 40
wears practice, for he was grad
uated from Rush Medical College
back in 1875, had found a good
deal of success in such cases with
q prescription Of his own contain
ing simple laxative herbs with
pepsin. In 1892 he decided to-
use this formula in the manufac-
ture Of a medicine to be known as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. and
in that year the preparation was
first placed on the market. The
picture Of DR.. Caldwell that APP
pears on the package was taken in
that year.
The preparation immediately
had as great a success in the drug
stores as it previously had in the
doctors private practice. Today
the third generation is using it.

Your country is what you call 'reek-
