CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss Of Appetite or Distress After
Eating a Symptom That Should
Not be Disregzrded.N


Appetite is just a natural desire for
food. Loss Of appetite or stomach
distress after eating indicate indigeS-
ton or dyspepsia. Oyer-eating is a
habit very dangerous to a persons
good general health, and Unsuitable
appetite Is a sure symptom of dia-
bctes.
II is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest/ persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than
a disordered stomach, and many peo-
pie daily contract serious maladies
simply thrcAgh disregard or abuse OF
the stomach.
We urge everyone in Pensacola who
is suffering from any stomach de-
rangement, indigestion Or dyspepsia,
whether acute or chronic, to try Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets, with the dis
tinct understanding that We viii re-
fund their money without question or
fornality, if after reasonable use of
this medicine, they are not perfectly
satisfied with the results. We recon-
mend them to our customers every
day, and have yet to hear OF anyone
who has not been benefited by them.
We honestly believe them 10 be with
out equal. They are made from the
prescription of physician who de-
voted all his time to the study and
treatment of stomach troubles. They
give very prompt relief. neutraliZe the
gastric juices, strengthen the digestive
organs. create good digestion and as
similation, naturally regulate the
bowels, promote perfect nutrition, and
create a permanent cure of all un-
healthy symptoms.
We urge you to try CSC box OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives
15 days treatment. At the end of that
time, your money viii be returned TO
you If you are not satisfied. OF course,
in cnronic cases length OF treatment
varies. For such cases, we have two
larger sizes, which sell for 45c and
