Elderly People Need This
In Medicine Chest
To relieve chronic constipation, always
keep a bottle of DIR. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin handy.

NEARLY all people as they advance
~ in age suffer from chronic constipa-
ton. Many, however, are indifferent to
the laxative they use, on the theory that
''they are all alike" That is a great
mistake.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, for ex-
ample, is a mild, gentle liquid laxative,
and it does not lose its effect with re-
peated use. 1t so trains the bowel
muscles that in time medicines OF all
kinds can be dispensed with.
A sixty-cent bottle Of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will last many months.
The prescription was written thirty
years ago by DR.. w. B. Caldwell, a we'll
known family doctor, who is himself
now in his Sind year and can APP
preciate what chronic constipation
must mean to elderly people; how it
brings on headaches, colds, loss of APP
petite and sleep, heaviness and a
general dull feeling.
Every home that has an elderly man
or woman should be provided with a
bottle of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Eight million bottles were bought at
drug stores last year. 1t is a truly
wonderful constipation remedy.
