Constipation, Gripping, etc. Your case
is no different-you are stomach suf-
ferer. tho you may call it by some
other name; your real and only
trouble is that which you eat does not
digest, but quickly ferments and sours,
producing almost any unhealthy con-
dition.
A case of Pape's Diapepsin will cost
fifty cents at any Pharmacy here, and
will convince any stomach sufferer five
minutes after taking one Triangule
that Fermentation and Sour Stomach
is causing the misery of Indigestion.
No matter if you call your trouble
Catarrh Of the Stomach, Nervousness
or Gastritis, or by any other name
always remember that a certain cure
for your trouble is waiting at your
Pharmacist any time you decide to be-
gin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will purify the
sourest and most acid Stomach within
five minutes, and will digest promptly
and without any fuss or discomfort
1000 grains of any kind of food you
could eat. Ask your druggist to show
you the formula plainly printed on the
case, and notice that the ingredients
used are as harmless as candy and
pleasant to the taste.

that she will destroy herself. Miss
Smith was pronounced improved last
night. The girl has been in an ex-

her physical condition is improved and
that no serious results are expected.
Owing to her threats of suicide. the

fore midnight. the girl attempted to
secure a brass wire THAT supported a

Watch Boyle heard her moving about
vent Miss Smith from attempting to
commit any rash act.
1t appears that Geneva Smith lived
in Fairfield for several years, working
for some time in the home of County
Attorney Grail
1t will be at least ten days before
the girl is able to leave the hospital,
and her arraignment in the police
court on the charge of doing away
with her child will take place as soon
as she is strong enough to be brought
into court.
