stomach is probably loaded UP with GER
tainundigested food and your bowels don't
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested foodin
your stomach, and Laxative Sennat to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take DR.. Caldwells Laxative, because its
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won
Observation-Disclosures whilethe Laxative
SIENNA moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those Jumps of
~undigested protein food which may linger
inyour stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin-
izing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your

how much better you feel by taking the

the crusade to cut Stop-and-Go $50 by

RPR is the true measure OF a gasoline's
performance in your car. "Highest RPR'
means faster starting, faster pickup,
higher anti-knock, more power and 'go'
