THEIR MEDALS
The next time you or the children need a laxative,
try this famous doctor's prescription which aids
the bowels without doing any harm. Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, containing pure senna and laxative
herbs, is effective in a gentle and helpful way. Its
action is thorough, but it never weakens the bowels.
It stimulates muscular action and is thus actually
good for the system. So remember Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin when coated tongue, fetid breath,
headaches, nausea, jaded appetite or biliousness
