When constipation brings on acid indi-
gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, a coated
tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with GER
tain undigestedf food and your bowels don't
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative SIENNA to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take DR.. Caldwelps Laxative, because its
Syrup Pepsia helps you gain that won
Observation-Disclosures while theLaxative
SIENNA moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those Jumps of
undigested protein food which may linger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin-
lzing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to- elieve your constipation, So see
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin
icky children love to taste this pleasant
