most women. This remedy was originally de-
signed not exactly for Dyspepsia, but for a
most miserable stomach condition which no

caused likely by bad Liver. After many trials
and experiments the combination known as
Wells Stomach Elixir was happily hit upon.
Words cannot express the degree of relief ease
and comfort, this remedy has given the sub
scriber. The nestimable value of this rem
edy in such troubles is beyond computation.
From the hour of the compromising of the first
bottle of Wells Stomach Elixir it has been a
valued and indispensable family medicine, and
hold to be most effective and comforting
remedy at painful, distressing periods
For Stomach Bowel and Abdominal distress

prompt and salutary relief; comforting, sooth-

infamed feverish irritated stomach gives most
benign and happy relief. Relieves pain, dis,

HOW IT HAPPENED.
There Il no chance about such cNres.
If only few persons had been benefited,

that these cures are not OF chance, but
