FOR A CONSTIPATED CHILD
a small dose Of Dr.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will bring
quick relief.

MOTHER, when one OF the
Nl children is constipated are
you going to give the first lax
ative within reach? II is dan
gerous to do so. Some have
been known TO rupture the
intestines OF little children.
Don't be beguiled by the out
side sugary appearance. Look
into the formula. Calomel is
seldom necessary; salts,
minerals, coal tar, never!
Unlike these, DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is admirable for
children, as it is for grown
people,, too. Mothers have
been giving it to children for
30 years. They know it does
not gripe, and is free from
narcotics. The formula is on
every package, and you can
see it is vegetable, just a COM

other laxative herbs with pep
