MISERY IN STOMACH.
And Indigestion vanishes in Five
Minutes and You feel Fine.

Why not start now-today, and for
ever rid yourself Of stomach trouble
and Indigestion? A dieted stomach
gets the blues and grumbles. Give 1t
good eat, then take Pape's Diapepsin to
start the digestive juices working.
There will be no dyspepsia or belching
of gas quotations of undigested food7
no feeling like lump Of lead in the
stomach or heartburn, sick headache
and dizziness, and your food will not
ferment and poison your breath with
nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only 30 cents
for large case at any drug store here,
and will relieve the most obstinate case
of indigestion and upset stomach in Ave
minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
gas from the stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines, and besides
one triapgule will digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all your
food the same as sound, healthy stom-
ach would do.
When Diapepsin works your stomach
rests gets itself in order, cleans 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 mis-
cry is awaiting for you as soon as you
decide to begin taking Diapepsin. Tell
Diapepsin, because you want to be
thoroughly cured of Indigestion.
