Tendency to
Constipation?
USE THIS LAXATIVE!
Dietitians advise a "careful diet," but that ia troubU
some to most people; physical cuiturista advise "certain
exercises," which ia good if one has both the time and the
inclination. Doctors advise diet and exercise and medicine.
The question is, shall it be a cathartic or purgative med
icine? Or a mild, gentle laxative? -
Thousands have decided the question to their ewn satis
faction by using a combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup'
Pepsin. A small dose gives a free, easy movement or the
bowels. It is the best substitute for nature herself. In fact,
since the ingredients are wholly from the' vegetable kingdom
it may truthfully be said it is a natural laxative.
Its positive but gentle action on the bowels males it an
ideal remedy for constipation. The dose is small, and it may
be taken with perfect safety until the bowels are regulated and
act again of their own accord. -;;:
