Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell was Right
The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since Dr. Caldwell left

placed on the market the laxative
prescription he hnd used In his prac
tlcc. known to druggists and the
publlo since 1892, as Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipa
tion, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression. Indigestion, sour stom
ach and other indispositions 'hat
result from constipation was entire
ly by means of simple vegetable' lax
atives, herbs and roots. These arc
still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syr
up Pepsin, which Is a combination
of senna and other mild laxative
herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for con
stipation, the safer for the child
and for you, and the better for the
encrai health of all. And as you
can get results In a mild and safe
wny by using Dr. Caldwell's 8vrtip
Pepsin, why take changes with
strong drugs?
A bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin will last a family several
months, and all can use It It is
good for the baby because pleasant
to the taste, gentle In action, and
fra efrom narcotic). In the proper
dose, given In the directions. It Is
equally effective at all ages. Elderly
people will find it especially IdeaL
All drug stores have the generous
