What DR.. Caldwell Learned
i'm AZ Years Practice

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
of constipation for Al years, and
believed that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
from time to time regardless of how
much one tries to avoid it. Of next
Importance, then, is how to treat it
when it comes. DIR. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to
nature as possible, hence his remedy
for constipation, known as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is mild vege-
table compound. It can not harm
the most delicate system and is not
q habit forming preparation. Syrup
Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and
Youngsters love it. It does not grippe.
Thousands of mothers have written
us to that effect.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu-
man beings to put into their system.
In q practice of Al years he never
eaw any reason for their use when
a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will
empty the bowels just as promptly,
more cleanly and gently, without
gripping and harm to the system.
Keep free from constipation It
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let a day go by
without a bowel movement. Do not
sit and hope, but go to a druggist
and get one of the generous bottles
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Take
the proper dose that night and by
morning you will feel like differ
ent person. Use Syrup Pepsin for
