the case in St. Louis. where barely three

AT Boston the American Leaguers played
two games. one in the morning and one in

IF YOU HAVE DYSPEPSIA, READ
THIS

The old way Of taking pepsin, bis
muth, etc. to cure dyspepsia is all
wrong. They may be put up in tab
let's or in liquid, the result is just
the same. The object is to create
artificial digestion. but this does not
make a cure. Stop taking the pep
sin, etc, and you have your dys-
pepsia or Indigestion back again. Peo-
pie use cocaine or opium for nervous
troubles and sick-headache. 1t does
not cure. Stop taking the drugs and
the pain and distress return. The only
common-sense method is to drive out
of the system the cause of dyspepsia
and headache. by cleansing the
stomach and bowels, at the same time
using medicine that will act on the
liver. This forces through the glands
of the stomach the digestive fluid
that nature intended. The medicine
that cures dyspepsia by this method
Is called DR.. Gums Improved Liver
Pills. They put the body in condition
so that the different organs can do
their work in a natural way Drug
gists sell these pills at 25c per box,

receipt of 25c in stamps. Sample sent
