FAILURE
Is Frequently Caused by the Worry
Attendant On Dyspepsia.

IF you would win in the Battle of Life
you must have clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, shrewdness, en-
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these needfuI quail
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. But you can get rid of dys-
pePsia, indigestion, biliousness, sour
stomach. or any other ailment of storu-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With perfect digestion go strong,
healthy body, a clear, capable brain,
vigor, ambition, determination. euer-
gy. activity. keen. alert senses. Dodd' s
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have new
er failed to cure any or all of the dis
eases named when they have been
fairly tried. They cannot fail.
DR.. r. B. Strong, New York City,
writing in the American Journal of
Health, describes Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets as a remedy which could not
possibly be more efficacious though it
eTuauated from a council of the leading
physicians of the world.
