needed a still larger space, he might

Mrs. Virgins thought the matter
over and found hat her modesty

for the neighbors, but objected to
the trouble of getting up such big

One Million Dollars for
a Good Stomach.
| his Offer Should be a Warn
ing to Every Man and
Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
mails have had much to say relative
to famous millionaire's offer of q
million dollars for new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condition
OF his stomach. He allowed his dyg-
pepsia to run from bad to worse until
in the end it became incurable. HIS
misfortune should serve as warning
TO others. Every one who suffers
with dyspepsia for few years will
give everything he Owns for new
stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abncr-
nal state of the gastric juices. Their
IS one element missiag-Pepsin. The
absence Of this destroys the function
of the gastric fluids. They lose theii
power TO digest food.
We are now able to supply the pep
sin 10 form almost identical to thai
naturally created by the system when
IN normal health, so that it restores
90 the gastric juices their digestiv1
power, and thus makes the stomach
strong and we'll.
We want every ore troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come to
our store and obtain box Of RexaI
Dyspepsia Tablets. They contain Bis
muth-Subnitrate and Pepsin prepared
by process which develops their
greatest pow err to overcome digestive
disturbance.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tab cts are very
pleasant to take. They so5tLe the
irritable, weak stomach, strengthen
and invigorate the digestive organs,
relieve nausea and indigestion, pre-
mote nutrition and bring about
feeling of comfort.
If you give Rexall Tablets a trial
we will return your money if You
are not satisfied with the result.
