When Standard Remedy For Many Homes Indigestion and constipation are two conditions closely related and the cause of much physical suffering. The tendency to indulge one's appetite is general, so that most people suffer at some time or another from rebellion of the overtaxed organs of digestion and elimination. A simple, pleasantly effective remedy that will quickly relieve the congestion of poison ous waste and restore regularity, is the . combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a mild, pleasant laxative tonic and digeetant. absolutely free from opiates or narcotic drugs, and has been the stand ard household remedy in count less homsB for , many years.
