Plattsmouth offers opportuni ties unexcelled anywhere to small factories. Natural gas, low cost electricity, nominal living wages, TV omen should take only liquid laxatives TVTORE people could feel fine, be LT-1- fit and regular, if they would only follow the rule of doctors and hospitals in relieving constipation. Never take any laxative that is harsh in action. Or one, the dose of which can't be exactly measured. Doctors know the danger if this rule is violated. They use a liquid laxative, and keep reducing the dose until the bowels need no help at all. m Reduced dosage i3 the secret of aiding Nature in restoring regularity. You must use a little less laxative each time, and that's why it should be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin. Ask your druggist for a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and if it doesn't give you absolute relief, ii" it isn't a joy and comfort in the way it overcomes any sluggishness or biliousness your money back.
