WHY YOU HAVE
THE DYSPEPSIA
Also the Most Certain Home
Cure for the Stomach
Trouble

Does it ever occur to you how busy
that little stomach of yours is2 IL
actually only holds three pints, though
in one year you force It to take in
$500 pounds of material digest it and
prepare it for assimilation to the blood.
DO YOU wonder at the number Of cases
of Indigestion and Stomach trouble?
You crowd it with steaks and pastry,
irritate its juices with spices and acids
and expect this little four-ounce mill
to do its work.
Is there any wonder that your food
passes undigested. or lays like a lump
of lead in the stomach? That every
thing you cat turns TO acid, Stomach
gas and Stomach poison, putrefying
the intestines and digestive canals,
causing Biliousness, Headaches, Dzzi-
ness and Indigestion Heartburn, Nau-
seous Breath. constipation and other
more dangerous symptoms?
Call your disease what you will
Indigestion, Gastritis, Nervousness,
Dyspepsia. Catarrh of Stomach. ETC.
you know the real name. the real dis
ease IS fermentation of the food you
eat-a sour Stomach. which belches
gas and erupts undigested food or
causes a feeling of nausea and miser-
ableness.
All these miseries vanish promptly
when you stop this food fermentation.
Take fifty cents TO your Pharmacist
for a case of Pape's Diapepsin. Eat
a triangule, and five minutes later
your Stomach will do what healthy
Stomach should-that is, turn every
bite you eat into bodily nourishment
and without vou realizing that you
have a Stomach. One triangule will
digest all the food you eat without the
aid of the stomach, because il contains
just the elements found in good
