been improved upon-sometimes
she needs a little assistance over
hard places though.

need help, we have indigestion.
Pepsin Is what nature has selected
to do the work of digestion in the

pepsiu Is with pure port wine, as
combined In Walther's Peptonized
Port, and sold by c, ". Gier,

The port Is Itself a valuable tonic.
