HAS THE LAXATIVE IN YOUR HOME A DOCTOR'S APPROVAL? Sonic tilings people do to help the bowels whenever any bad breath, feverishness, biliousness, or a lack of appetite warn of constipation, really weaken these organs. Only a doctor knows what will cleanse the system without harm. That is why the laxa tive in your home should have the approval of a family doctor. The wonderful product, known to millions as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Fepsin is a family doctor's prescrip tion for sluggish bowels. It never varies from the original prescription which Dr. Caldwell wrote thousands of times in many years of practice, and proved safe and reliable for men, women and children. It is made from herbs and other pure ingredients, so it is pleasant-tasting, and can form no habit. You can buy this popular laxa tive from all drugstores.
