IL so common many people neglect taxi
ing proper treatment FOR what they
consider trliiing stomach trouble, wien
az a matter of fact. indigestion lays the
foundation for many incurable dis
eases. No person with vigorous.
healthy stomach will fall a victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion: thin. nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stom-
achs are out OF gear weary, languid.
faded out women owe their condition
10 imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion 1t IS not
surprising that nearly every secret pat

score of other troubles. when IN fact. rs

fectly safe and reliable and moreover,
this remedy Is not patent medicine.
