To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, nf Monti-
tollo, 111., a practicing physician for
47 years, it seemed cruel that so
many constipated infants and chil-
dren had to be kept "stirred up" and
half sick by taking cathartic pills,
tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils.
White he knew that constipation
was the cause of nearly all children's
little ill3, he constantly adviued
mothers to give only a harmless lax- "
ative which would help to establish
natural bowel "regularity."
In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
mothers have a regulating laxative
which they can depend upon when-
ever a child is constipated, bilious,
feverish or sick from a cold, indi-
gestion or sour stomach. All chil-
dren love its pleasant taste.
