I have during the put two yean been seri

the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for
such trouble. I endeavored to secure the
remedy in Texas, but failed, and while ti

which I kept In my house. As to my own trouble, the first bottle did the worx,
and I am taking my three square meals per day without any of the bad results which

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for stomach trouble. Respectfully, ED. H. LOVE.
