When DR.. Caldwell started to
yractice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic phys
ice and purges for the relief Of con-
stipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human
beings to put into their system. So
ne wrote a prescription for q laxa-
tive 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 Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
