This applies regardless of age or con- dition in life, The congestion of stomach waste in the bowels is evidenced in variops ways; bloat, eructation of foul stomach gases, sick headache, langour, all indi- cate constipation, and call for prompt attentlon, not only to relieve the pres- ent discomfort but also to avoid possi- ble disease that follows neglect of this fmportant function. rsh cathartics and violent purga- tives should not be employed, as these afford only temporary relief, while they serve to shock the entire system.

It is free from oplate or narcotic drugs, acts easily and pleasantly, without griping or other pain and is a safe, effective family remedy. Mr. Chas. Schell, 182 Church St. Grenada, Miss, writes that he found relief himself by using Dr. Caldwell's Prescribed by Many Doctors MR. CHAS. SCHELL Syrup Pepsin and now keeps it on hand for family use.
