Why Hospitals Use
a Lisuid Laxaiiva
Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Dc you know the reasons?
The done of a liquid laxative can bo
measured. The action can be con
trolled. It forms no habit; you need
cot take a "double dose" a day or
two later. A'or will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The ri.ht liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement, and there is
no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may keep
you constipated as long as you keep
on using it! And the habitual use of
irrilaliw.' ridls, or of powerful drugs
in the highly concentrated form of
puis and tablets may prove injurious.
A week with a properly prepared
liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pe;v..in will tell you a lot. A
few weeks' time, and your bowels
can be "as regular as clockwork."
Dr. Caldwell's lij nip Pepsin is an
approved liquid laxative which all
druggists Lee) ready for use. It makes
