A physician watched the results of constipation for 47 years, a.nd believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipa· tion will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting a.s close to nature as .possible, hence his remedy for consti· patton, knovm as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the system and is not habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasanttasting, and youngsters love it. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics a.nd purges. H~ did not believe they were good for anybody's system. In a. practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to the nearest druggist n.nd get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, or write "Syrup Pepsin," Dept.
