success in such cases with a pre-

simple laxative herbs with pepsin.
In 1892 he decided 10 use this
formula in the manufacture OF a
medicine to be known as DIR. Ca1d-
wells Syrup Pepsin. and in that
year his prescription was first
placed on the market.
The preparation Immediately had
as great a success in the drug
