WHAT DR.. CALDWELL
LEARNED IN AZ
YEARS PRACTICE

A physician watched the results of
constipation for AZ years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are of
their health, diet and exercise, constipa-
tion will occur from time to time. Of
next Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DIR. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton, known as DR.. Caldwelps Syrup
Pepsin, is mild vegetable compound.
1t can not harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did not
believe they were good for anybody's
system. In a practice of Al years he
never saw any reason for their use when
Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just
as promptly. -
Do not let q day go by without a
bowel movement. Do not sit and hope,
but go to the nearest druggist and get
one of the generous bottles of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, or write Syrup
Pepsin," Dept, BIB, Monticello. Illinois,
