ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A
GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
nails have had much to say relative to
a famous milliOnaire's offer of a mil
lion dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspep-
STA to run from bad to worse until in
the end it became incurable. His mis-
fortune should serve as a warning to
others. Every one who suffers with
dyspepsia fer a few years will give
everything he owns for a new
stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state Of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing-Pepsin. The
absence Of this destroys the function
OF the gastric fluids. They lose their
power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the
pepSin in a form almost identical to
that naturally created by the system
when in normal health, so that it re-
stores to the gastric juices their
digestive power, and thus makes the
stomach strong and we'll.
We want every one troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come to
our store and obtain a box Of RexaH
Dyspepsia Tablets. They contain
