FREE SAMPLE CURED OLD
PERSON’S DOWEL TROUBLE
One of the most remarkable proofs of
the unusual laxative merit contained in
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is that it is
effective not only in people in the prime
of life, but at the extremes of ages. As
many letters are received from mother
regarding the cures of children, as from
men and women of sixty, seventy and
j eighty years of age. It must be truly a
; wonderful laxative.
In the cure of constipation and bowel
i trouble in old people it has no equal. It
' correots the constipation, dispels the head
j ache, biliousness, gas, drowsiness after
1 eating, etc. People advancing in years
i should see to it that their bowels move
j freely, and if they do not to take Dr.
1 Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. You can pro
i long your iife by healthy bowel action.
Clogged bowels invite disease. Women
i about to pass the menstrual period cannot
do better than use Syrup Pepsin several
times a week until the system haa set
tled to its future condition.
Among the strongest supporters Of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are Mr. W. G.
Zorn of New Decatur, Ala. and Mr. George
S. Spaulding of the National Soldiers’
Home, Kansas, both elderly men. The
regular size bottles can be bought of any
druggist at fifty cents and one dollar, but
a free sample bottle can be had by send
ing your address to the doctor.
Dr. Caldwell does not feel that the
purchase of his remedy ends his obli -
gation. He has specialized In stomach,
