Mother Praises Remedy That Relieved Her Baby Dr. Caldweli’s Syrup Pepsin Is a Dependable Family Laxative Nearly all the sickness incident to a baby’'s life is due to constipation, or inaction of the bowels. At thefirst indication of Irregularity in this’ im- portant function, relief should be afforded promptly. A mild- laxative should be administered to gently carry off the congested waste and leave the stomach and bowels free to perform their allotted tusks. Of the various remedies recommend- ed to relieve constipation, the combin- ation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, as prescribed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep- sin, is the most effective. It contains no ‘opiate or narcotic drug, is pleasant to the taste, mild and gentle in action, and quickly brings the desired relief in_an easy, natural manner. Mrs. C. J. Douglas, Mason, TIL, writes that she cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a dependable family laxative. Little Mary Eva had been badly constipated until they tried Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which brought the first natural relief the child had had ig two weeks. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug stores everywhere and costs only fifty cents a bottle. To imitations and ineffective s tutes be sure to ask for Dr. well's Syrup Pepsin. See that a fac- simile of Dr. Caldwell's signature and his portrait appear on the yellow car~ ton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald- well, 456 Washington St, Monticello, Illinots.
