Indigestion Remedy Free
To any victim of Indigestion the offer is made that if he or she will send
name and address, a free sample of a remedy that is daily curing indigestion will
be sent. This remedy is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Instead of taking the ad-
vice of your friend, or using lozenges, peppermints and such things, write for
this free sample and see what that will do for you. There is no remedy that has
been more successful in the cure of indigestion, sick headache, heartburn, etc.,
than this grand laxative tonic, because instead of being simply a breath perfume
it goes to the root of the trouble, which is poor bowel movement, and cures that.
Once the bowels are relieved the stomach has a better chance to do its work.
Thousands in the past have accepted the offer of a free sample and later became
steady users of Syrup Pepsin. All that Dr. Caldwell desires is that you allow
him to prove to you, at his own expense, that his remedy will do as claimed.
When you have used the sample and are convinced, you can buy a further sup-
ply of your druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, just as others are do-
ing who once sent for a free sample. You will learn to abandon "dyspepsia
cures" for indigestion and cathartic pills and salts for constipation, for Dr. Cald-
well's Syrup Pepsin is a permanent cure, while these are but temporary reliefs.
Here is a mild, pleasant, non-griping remedy that can be given to a child with
perfect safety. In fact, it is especially adapted to children's ills. Read the many
letters of recommendation that users have written for Syrup Pepsin, then try it
yourself and you will see that these claims are justified. Thousands cf the best
American families have Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house.
