Doctor Found Women and Children Sick
 More Often than Men

As a family doctor at Monticello Illinois. the whole human body. not any small part of it, was Dr. Cald- wells practice. More than half his calls" were on women, children and babies. They are the one most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of minor nature-colds, levers, headaches, biliousness-and all of them required first thorough evacuation. They were constipated. In the course of Dr. Caldwell's ~ years practice, he found good deal of success in such cases with prescription of his own contain ing simple laxative herbs with pep- sin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and placed it on the market.
 The preparation immediately had as great a public success as it pre- viously had in Dr. Caldwell's private practice. Now, the third generation is using it. Mothers are giving 1t to their children who were given 1t by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone some- where is going into drug store to buy it. There are thousands of homes in this country that are new CT without a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. and we have many hundreds of letters from grateful people telling us it helped when everything else failed.
 While women, children and elder- ly people are especially benefited by pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. its mild. gentle action is promptly e!- fective on the most robust constitu- ton and in the most obstinate cases. Containing neither opiates nor mar
