Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell Was Right

The basis Of treating sickness
has not changed since DR.. Caldwell
left Medical College in 1875, nor
since he placed on the market the
laxative prescription he had used
in his practice, known to druggists
and the public since 1892 as DR..
Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin.
Then. the treatment of constipa-
ton, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, Indigestion, sour stom-
ach and other indispositions that
result from constipation was en-
tirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives. herbs and roots. These
are still the basis of DR.. Caldwelps
Syrup Pepsin, which is a combina-
ton of SIENNA and other mild laXa-
tive herbs with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for con-
stipation the safer for the child and
for you, and the better for the gen.
eral health of all. And as you can
get results in a mild and safe way
by using DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, why take chances with strong
drugs?
A bottle of DR.. Caldwe1's Syrup
Pepsin will last a family several
months, and all can use it. 1t is
good for the baby because pleasant
to the taste, gentle in action, and
free from narcotics. In proper
dose, given in the directions, it is
equally effective at all ages. Elder
ly people will find it especially
ideal. All drug stores have the
generous bottles.
We would be glad to have you
prove at our expense how much
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin can
mean to you and yours. Just write
your name and address in the spe-
