( f Splendid Laxati for Has Been Prescribed by Well Known Physician for Many Years. The infirmities of .age are especially manifest in a tendency to constipation, and call for treatment that will afford relief in an easy, natural manner. The rapid action of cathartic remedies and purgatives that shock the system should be avoided, more especially as the relief they afford is only temporary and is usually more th&n offset by disturbance to the vital organs caused by their violent action. Nearly thirty years ago Dr W B Caldwell, Monticello, 111, prescribed a compound of simple laxative herbs that has since become the standard household remedy in thousands of homes. It acts easily and gently, i yet with positive effect, without griping or other pain or discomfort. 1 Mrs Rachel Allen, Galesburg, Kans, i is seventy-one years old, and after 1 lining a bottle of Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, wrote that it had done 1 her a world of good and that she | ( intends to keep it in the house jc With Oar Advertisers, | S Marcus has a change of ad in t4- itmii infanoof fko 1o_ 4119 papci . 11 win uibcicoi wiiw it*iies.
