CONSTIPATION
DR. CALDWELL'S Syrup
Pepsin is a combination of
simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that quickly relieves the
congestion of undigested food and
poisonous waste matter, and re
stores the normal regularity of
natural action. It does not gripe
or cramp and is as safe and pleas
apt for children as it is effective on
even the strongest constitution.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is
the indispensable family remedy
in thousands of homes and is sold
in drug stores everywhere.
In spite of the fact that Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin is the largest selling
liquid laxative in the world, there
being over 6 million bottles sold each
year, many who need its benefits have
not yet used it. If you have not, send
your name and address for a free trial
bottle to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 511
Washington St., Monticello, Illinois.
