Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to prac-
tice medicine, back in 1875, the needs
for a laxative were not as great as
they are today. People lived normal,
quiet lives. ate plain, wholesome food,
and got plenty of fresh air and sum
shine. But even that early there
were drastic physics and purges for
the relief of constipation which DR..
Caldwell did not believe were good
for human beings to put into their
system So he wrote a prescription
for a laxative to be used by his pa
tients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice, and
which he put in drug stores in 1892
under the name of DIR. Caldwell $
Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable
remedy, intended for women. children
and elderly people, and they need
just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel
stimulant as Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proved its worth and
is now the largest selling liquid laxa-
tive in the world. The fact that mill
lions of bottles are used year proves
that it has won the confidence of
people who needed it to get relief
from headaches, biliousness, fatu-
lence. Indigestion. loss of appetite and
sleep. bad breath, dyspepsia, colds
and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,

LOCAL HISTORY WORK
INCREASING IN STATE

Steady progress is being made in
the organization of local historical
work in Minnesota, according to DIR.
Scion j. Buck, superintendent of
the Minnesota Historical society,
who led a local history conference
at one of the St. Cloud sessions of
the sixth state historical convention
in June.
'fAll told there are at present
nine county historical societies in
the state: Becker, Blue Earth, Cook,
Lake, 'Olmstad, Ramsey, Rice,
Roseau, and st. Louis" DR.. Buck
said. "Three others, Aitkin, Crow
Wing and Otter Tail, have organiza-
tions planned; in five or six more
local historical work of value is
being done through museums con-
nected with high schools or libraries;
and occasionally, as in Kandiyohi,
old settlers associations are func-
tioning to some extent as historical
societies."
This local history movement is of
comparatively recent origin and mas
been fostered by the state histori-
cal society. In 1921 an annual con-
ference on local history work was
started in connection with the meet
ings of the state society, and in
1922 the society issued model
constitution for a county historical
society. In the same year the prac-
tice was begun of holding summer
historical conventions in various
parts of the state. The oldest and
most active of the new crop of local
societies is that of st. Louis county,
which was started at the time of the
summer convention in Duluth in
1922. "Under the leadership of Mr..
William E. Culkin," DR.. Buck said
sit has become factor of import
ance in the community, with a large
and interested membership, frequent
meetings, offices in the court house,
a growing collection of manuscripts,
and financial support from the
county"
