"The immense numbers OF people
who are calling on me here In Boston
is not unusual have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever have gone. The reason Is
a simple one. Tt ID because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good cOndi-

but it is in fact the key to health. The

OF fact, most men and women today
