wells Syrup pepsin, IL a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women. children and elderly people,
and they need Just such u mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimnlant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and II now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that

proves that IL has won the confidence
Of people who needed IL to Get relief
