Prof. Hertzog Praises This Perfect Laxative Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin an Ideal Remedy for Constipation In every family there is more or less occasion for a laxativ.e remedy. It is to meet this need that Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and that this combination of simple laxa tive herbs with pepsin fulfills its pur pose is proven by its place in thou sands of American homes. Prof. F. J. C. Hertzog, the well known linguist, 2341 North Orianna St., Philadelphia, Pa., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that he has used Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin in his household with excellent results and that he and his family consider it indeed a friend in need, and always keep a bottle of it on hand. Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is a condi-, tion that should never be neglected.' Harsh cathartics and violent purga tives should never be employed to re lieve constipation, because the very violence of their action shocks the en tire system. A mild laxative, such as IJr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable, being mild and gentle in its action, without griping or other pain or discomfort; its freedom from all opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an ideal remedy for children.
