Unfortunately many seem to think that it is easier to give the appearance of health with cosmetics, or stifle a headache with an opiate, than to remove the real cause by taking a good laxative. The pill habit, of course, is not to be rec- ommended, but any woman can take such a mild laxative as Dr, Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin with assurance that the dose can gradually be decreased and that there will be no shock or weakening of the system. As is generally known, Syrup Pepsin is a simple Vegetable compound of Egyptian senna with pepsin and pleasant-tasting aromatics. A spoonful will clean out the impacted matter and make you feel well by morning. You should take a dose when you feel the slightest symptom of constipation, such as bilious- ness, flatulency, lassitude, loss of appetite, restless sleep, bad breath, dull eyes, sal- low skin, and to stop fevers and colds. Many do not wait for these symptoms, but take Syrup Pepsin regularly once a week. Mrs. Mary J. White, 122 Cedar Ave., Camden, N. J., and Mrs, L. H. Edwards, Palisade, Colo., say that much of their excellent health can be ascribed to Dr. Caldwell’s Sy tup Pepsin. ‘The other members of the family also use it as, being free from opiates and narcotics, it is perfectly safe, even for infants. More than ten million bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are sold annually, the largest sale in the world. If you have been in the habit of using strong cathartic pills, salt waters or “candy cathartics,” which contain a coal-tar drug called phenolphthalein, we especially urge you to try this milder meth- od. You will have a better, freer passage and without strain or gripe. A bottle can be had atany drug store and the average cost is less than a cent a dose, DR.
