In 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started 10 prac-
ticc medicine, back in 1875, the needs
for a laxative were not as great as
they are today. People lived normal
quiet lives. ate plain, whole some food
and got plenty OF fresh air and sun
shine But even that early there were
drastic physics and purgcs for the
relief of constipation which DR.. Cald-
we'll did not believe were good for
human beings to put into their sys-
tenn. SO he wrote prescription for
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.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pcpsin. is liquid vegc-
table remedy. intended for women.
children and elderly people. and they
reed just such a mild. safe. gentle
bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions OF bottles are used a year
proves that it has won the confidence
OF people who needed it to get relief
from headaches. biliousncss, fiatu-
lenCe. indigestion. loss of appetite
and sleep. bad breath. dyspepsia.
