Why not start now-today, and for
ever rid yourself OF Stomach trouble
and indigestion? A dieted stomach
gets the blues and grumbles. Give it
a good eat, then take Pape's Diapep.-

belching of Gas or quotations of I'M
digested food; ne feeling like a lump
of lead in the stomach or heartburn
sickheadache and dizziness, and your
food will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only SO cents
for a large case at any drug store here
and will relieve the most obstinate
case of Indigestion and upset stomach
in five minutes.
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 of all
your food the same as a sound, heal
thy stomach would do it.
When Diapepsin works, your stom-

up-and then you feel like eating when
you come to the table, and what you
eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all Stomach
Misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to take D%iapepsin. Tell
your druggist that you want Pape's
Diapepsin, because you want to be
thoroughly cured of indigestion.
