A LIBERAL OFFER.
The w. A. Sans Drug Co. Guarantee
to Cure Dyspepsia. If They Fail,
The Medicine Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the peo-
pie OF Marietta that indigestion and
dyspepsia is durable and that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets will effect the cure,
we will furnish the medicine absolutely
free il fails to give complete satisfac-
AZ n to any one giving it trial.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to the
new and successful method of manufac-
ture, whereby the well-known proper
ties of Bismutb, Subnitrate and Pepsin
have been combined with carminatives
and their agents.
Bismuth, Subnitrate and Pepsin are
= recognized by the entire medical pro-
fession as specifics for acute Indigestion
and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets is manufactured by new pro-
cess which develops its greatest eff
cheney. Pepsin supplies to the digestive
apparatus one of the most impor tant
elements of the digestive fluid, and ex-
erts tonic influence upon all the
glands which supply all the other ele-
ments necessary to proper assimilation
and digestion.
The carminatives add properties
which promptly relieve the disturbances
and pain caused by Indigestion.
The perfect combination of these in.
gradients make remedy absolutely in
comparable and Invaluable for the COM
plete cure of indigestion and dyspepsia
We are so positively certain of this
that we sell Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
on our own personal guarantee that
they will either cure you or cost you
nothing. w. A. Sans & Co, druggists,
