The next time that you or the children need a
laxative, try this famous doctors prescription

and laxative herbs, is effective in a gentle and
helpful way. Its action is thorough. but it never
weakens the bowels. 1t stimulates their muscular
action and is thus actually good for the system.
Remember DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin when
coated tongue, fetid breath. headaches, nausea,
faded appetite or biliousness tells the need Of a
thorough cleansing. Druggists keep it in big
bottles, or avIte Dr.. CaldzrcHS Syrup PefsiD,
