tice of medicine back in 1875. |
am now 83 years old, and though
from time to time the medical pro-
fession makes some wonderfully
interesting experiments and tests,
the fundamentals of causes and
relief in this particular ailment
are unchanged.
But the people take greater in
terest today in their health, in
diet, exercise and the drinking of
water. Constipation, however, will
occur from time to time no matter
how one tries to avoid it. OF next
Importance, then, is how TO treat
it when it comes. | believe in
getting as close to nature as
possible, hence my remedy for
constipation, known as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a mild
vegetable compound. 1t is made
Of Egyptian senna and pepsin
with agreeable aromatics. Chill
dren will not willingly take bitter
things. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it..
1t does not gripe. Thousands Of
mothers have written me to that
effect.
Over 10 million bottles Of DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin are now
sold every year, and it is the most
widely bought family laxative in
the world. | say family laxative
because all in the family can use
it with safety. 1t is mild enough
for the infant in arms, effective
in the most chronic constipation

of an adult. The formula is ON
every package.
Recently there has been a new
wave of drastic physics. Calomel,
a mercurial that salivates and
loosens teeth, has been revived;
salt waters and powders that
draw needed constituents from
the blood; coal tar disguised in
candy form that causes skin erup-
tons. In a practice of AZ years
| have never seen any reason for
their use when a medicine like
Syrup Pepsin will empty the bow
els just as promptly, more cleanly
and gently, without gripping, and
without shock to the system.
. Keep free from constipation 1t
lowers your strength % per cent,
hardens the arteries and brings on
premature old age. Do not let a
day go by without q bowel move
ment. Do not sit and hope but
go to a druggist and get a bottle
Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
1t is a generous-size bottle. Take
a teaspoonful that night and by
morning you will be well. The cost
is only about a cent a dose. Use
Syrup Pepsin for yourself and men,
bers of the family in constipation,
bilousness, sour and crampy stom-
ach, piles, indigestion, loss of appe-
tite or sleep, and TO break up feyers
and colds. Always have a bottle in
the house, and observe these three
rules of health: Keep the head
cool, the feet warm, the bowels
open.
