Millions of Families Depend
 onDr. Caldwell's Prescription

When Dr. Caldwell started ,o practice medicine. back in 1875, the needs for a laxative were not as great as they are today. People liv- ed normal. quiet lives, ate plain. wholesome food, and got plenty Of fresh air and sunshine. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of consti- patton which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put into their system. So he wrote 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 Dr. Gala wells Syrup Pepsin. is liquid vege- table remedy. intended for women, children and elderly people. and they need just such a mild. safe. gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pep sin.
 Under successful management this prescription has proven it's worth and Is now the largest selling liquid laxative in the world. The fact that millions of bottles are used year proves that it has won the confi- dence Of people who needed it to get relief from headaches. bilious ness, fiatulence. indigestion. loss of Appetite and sleep. bad breath. dys- pepsia. colds and levers.
 Millions of families are now never without Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. and If you will once start using if you will also always have a bottle
