fermentation and
UNDIGESTED FOOD

Some people think they have indi-
gestion others catarrh of the ston-
ach, others nery BUSINESS, cancer or
dyspepsia, etc. Call it this if you
will, but the real Qame for your
trouble If food fermentation, with
only partial digestion. Everything
you eat either turns to acid, stomach
gas or stomach poison, which weak
ems the digestive organs, causing a
lack of gastric juices. Your food
sours and is only half digested, and
you become afflicted with loss Of
appetite, pressure and fullness after
eating, burning sensation, feeling
Of vomiting, heartburn water brash
and tenderness in the pit of the stom-
ach, Shiny tongue and bad taste in
the mouth, constipation, nausea,
belching of gas, dizziness sick head
aches, mental ID oppression and many
other common symptoms. h 4 I
You can cure all this by not
eating, by not putting any food in
your stomach to ferment, but how
about the nourishment needed to
sustain your bodily strength? #
you are a stomach sufferer, either
man or woman young or old, wheth-
er you call it indigestion or by any
other name, go now to your druggist
and give SO cents for a. case of Pape's
Diapepsin. 75.
Every possible kind Of stomach
trouble is readily cured by Diapep-
sin, which takes right hold of the
food in your stomach and digests
| it alone. without the help Of your
stomach, just as il your stomach
| wasn't there. Il ..t5sz 3Sts
| After a few days use Of Diapepsin
your stomach will again be in good
working order, your meals will be
thoroughly digested, and your intes:
tines will be clean and fresh, and
you will have no use for laxatives

Already there is mention" Of can

dark horses being groomed in retir-

there will be a clear field for all
