It i t0 meet this need that Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and that combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin fulfills its purpose is proven by its place in thousands of American homes. 1 Prof. F. J. C. Hertzog, the well known lingunst, 2341 North Orianna St., Philadeiphia, Pa., wrote to Dr. Caidwell t he “has used Dr. Cald- well's ip Pepsin in his household with excellent results and that he and his family consider it indeed a friemnd in need, and always keep a bottle of it on hand. Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is a condition that should pever be negilected. Harsh catharties and , violent purgatives should never be' employed to religve constipation, because the very vio- lence of their action shocks the entire system. A mild laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Sprup Pepsin is far prefer- able, being mild and gentle in its ac- tion, without griping or other pain or discomfort: its freedom from all opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an ideal remedy for children. Prof. Hertzof Praises 5 ‘This Perfect Laxative il I Dr. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug stores everywhere for fifty cents a_bottle.
