TNSFRE WITH HKXRT TRQyi,
Dr. CaldwelPs 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy
Dr. Caldwell watched the results
of constipation for 47 years, and be
lieved that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
from time to time regardleaa of how
much one tries to avoid It. Of next
importance, then, is how to treat it
when it cornea. Dr. Caldwell always
waa -in favor of getting as close to
nature as possible, hence his remedy
for constipation, known as Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin, ia a mild veg
etable compound. It can not harm
the most delicate aystem and is nol
a habit forming preparation. Syrup
Pepsin ia pleasant-tasting, ana
youngsters love It. It does not gripe.
Thousands of mothers have written
us to that effect.
Dr. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu
man beings to put into their ByB
tema. In a practice of 47 yeara he
never saw any reason for their use
when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels just as
promptly, more cleanly and gently,
without griping end harm to the
system.
Keep free from constipation! It
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let a day go by
without a bowel movement. Do not
sit find hope, but go Lo a drugyiit
and get one of the generous bottld
of Syrup Pepsin. Take the prop
dos that nignt and by mornimyui
vnii reel axe a mriercnc person.
Get a bottle today, at any drnt
ntore and ohservc these three iuIh
of health: Keep the head cool, tit
feet warm, tne uoweis open.
