Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaires' offer
of million dollars for new stomach,
This great millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition OF
his stomach He allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad to worse until in the
end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia
for a few years will give everything
le owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is one
element missing. The absence OF this
destroys the function of the gastric
fluids They lose their power to digest
food
We are now abb 10 supply the MISS
ing element-to sstore to the gastric
Juices their seestive power, and to
make the stoi-acll strong and well.
We know that ReNall Dyspepsia
Tablets will positively and permanent
~ cure disordered stomachs, indiges-
ton and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will
return your money If you are not more
than satisfied with the result
Price, 25 cents. Only at our store, or
by mail. The Mcbride and Will Drug
