Prescription He Wrote
i'm 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

WHEN Or. Caldwell started 10
practice medicine. back in 1875, the
needs for n 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 physics
and purges for the relief OF constipa-
tion which DR.. Caldwell did not be-
lieve were good for human beings TO
put into their system. So he wrote
q 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 DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. is a liquid
vegetable remedy. intended for wo-
men, children and elderly people, and
they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and il now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used a year
proves that il has won the confidence
of people who needed il TO get relief
from headaches. biliousness. fatu-
ience, indigestion. loss Of appetite
and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,

BY JAMES l. WEST
Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-tPt-The
capacity Of President-Elect Hoover
for high pressure work rarely has
been more clearly demonstrated than
during the period since his return
fromhis good will tou rof Latin
America.
With but a single break over last
Sunday he has held conferences from
early morning until well into the
night, receiving recommendations,
advice and suggestions on an almost
boundless range Of political, govern
mental, legislative and diplomatic
questions.
As caller has followed caller at his
home or his temporary headquarters
his mind has been obliged to jump
with rapidity from one subject to
another and out of the pieces OF in
formation received at widely separst-
ed intervals he must fashion for
himself the whole picture upon which
10 predicate conclusions.
While the presidsnt-elect has as
sumed for the most part the role Of
listener there have been occasions
when he has had to express his own
opinions and conclusions and even
bring over some of those high in par
ty councils TO his own way of think
ing.
Following his usual custom Of an
plying himself to the job at hand, the
president-elect has decided to con-
tinue his conferences here during the
remainder Of this week instead If
leaving for Florida tomorrow az he
had planned some days ago.
This means that he will net he
able to find the time to make the
contemplated tour Of the West Indies
before his Inauguration. as he still
has his inaugural address to pre-
pare and there are more conferences
late IN February and early in March
hefor ecoming TO final conclusions
on some Of the major appointments
which must be announced BY
March 4.
