There will be no dyspepsia or belching

breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapapsin costs only so cents
for large case at any drug store
here, and will relieve the most obstin

There is nothing else better to take
gas from stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines, and, besides
one triangule will digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all your
food the same as a sound, healthy
stomach would do.
When Diapapsin works, your stom
ach rests-gets itself in order, cleans
up-and then you feel like eating wher
you come to the table, and what yo,
eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
