ff'ren Had Last Laugh
On Critical Councillors
S:r Christopher Wren, builder of
St. Paul's cathedral, and many
other famous churches, was partjv
responsible for the Town Hall
of Windsor, in 1636, but the good
councillors had misgivings about
Ms work.
They complained to him that the
big hall had no pillars to support
it. and despite Wren's assurances
that it had been designed that
way and was safe, demanded that
supporting pillars be placed in position.
Wren agreed to do so. and had
f, ur pillars erected. But some
years later it was discovered that
the pillars came one inch short of
reaching the ceiling.

Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, and Also
Pepsin-ize Stomach!
When constipation brings on acid indigestion,
bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, so'ir taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with certain
undigested food and your bowels don't
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin,
lake Dr. Caldwell's Laxative, because its

Power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of
undigested protein food which may linger
?n your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsinizing
your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to relieve your constipation. So see
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even finicky
