use a LIQII
If you want to GET RID of Constipation worrits—
-——
Any hospital offers evidence of the
harm done by harsh laxative* that
drain the system, weaken the bowel
muscles, and in some coses even
affect the liver and kidneys.
A doctor will tell you that the
unwise choice of laxatives Is a com*
mon cause of chronic constipation.
•Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to the use of laxatives
in liquid form.
A properly prepared liquid laxa
tive brings a perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don’t
have to take "a double dose' a day
or two later.
In buying any laxative, ahvavi
read the label. Not tho claimt, but
the continti. If it contains one
doubtful drug, don’t take it.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
prescriptions! preparation in which
there are no mineral drugs. Its in
gredients art on tho label. By using
it, you avoid danger of bowel strain.
You can keep the bowels regular,
and comfortable; you can make
constipated spells as rare as colds
__BS
Th* liquid tt»t>
This test has proved to many men
and women that their trouble was
not “weak bowels,' but strong
cathartics: , „ ,
First. Select a good liquid laxa
tive. 2. Take the dose you find is
suited to your system. 3. Gradually
reduce the dose until bowels are
moving regularly without any need
of stimulation.
Syrup pepsin has the highest
standing among liquid laxatives,
and Is the one generally used. It
contains senna, a natural laxative
which is perfectly safe for
ES9fl Amiin. S |
