Drinking Water With Meals Doesn't
Cause Overweight or Indigestion

At one of the fashionable but stric.

that every girl must. on sitting down to
breakfast, drink slowly an entire glass
Of water.
The girl who does not conform gets a
demerit-it is part Of the regular rou-
tine OF the day.
Undoubtedly this regulation is based
upon advice of some good doctor. Prob
ably no one disputes the value of the
glass of water drunk some time before
breakfast. though many persons regu-

Millions of Families Depend
on DR.. Caldwell's Prescription

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, whole
some food, and got plenty of fresh
air and sunshine. But even that
early there were drastic physics and
purges for the relief OF constipation
which DIR. Caldwell did not believe
were good for human beings to put
into their systems. So he wrote a
prescription for a laxative TO be used
by his patients.
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. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. is a liquid vege-
table remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people. and they
need Just such a mild, safe, gentle
bowel stimulant a. Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used a year
proves that il has won the conf
dence,o of people who needed it TO get
relief from headaches, biliousness,
f~iatulence, indigestion, loss of appe-
lite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin. and If you will once start using
it you will also always have bottle
handy for emergencies.

that the most OF il is bought by
