When Dr. Caldwell started to d || practice medicine, back in 1875, the || needs for a laxative were not as ||/ great as they are today. People ||/ lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air and sunshine. But even ||/ that early there were drastic | physics and purges for the relief of ||/ constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put into their system. So he wrote a prescription for a laxa- | tive to be used by his patients. The prescription for constipation | that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Cald- | well's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children znd elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. Under successful ~management | this prescription has proven its | worth and is now the largest sell- |ing liguid laxative in the world. The fact that millions of bottles | are used a year proves that it has | won the confidence of people who | needed it to get relief from head | aches, biliousness, Ratulence, indi- | gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, | bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and | fevers. Millions of families are now | never without Dr. Caldwell's Syrup | Pepsin, and if you will once start sing it you will also always have a bottle handy for emergencies. | It is particularly pleasing to know | Prescription He Wrote in 1892 Is the World’s Most Popular Laxative & ___ AT AGE 83 that the most of it is bought by | mothers for themselves and the children, though Syrup Pepsin is | just as valuable for elderly people. | All drug stores have the generous bottles, or use this free coupon: {FREE BOTTLE Mail to “SYRUP PEPSIN, Monticello, Illinois.

When the master called for an WITH THE HIDDEN TALENT These almost a million customers of ours are not customers because we ex- tend credit. Many of them pay cash.

He thought he was playing safe—when he was only being dumb! His smarter brothers used their tal- ents, doubled and trebled them. They made a big hit with the big boss. The business moral of this Bible parable is known to every successful man: You must make your money work for you as much and as long as possible. A dollar is still your dollar—until you let it go!
