One Million Dollars for a

This Offer Should be a Warning

The newspapers and medical jour

relative to famous millionaire's Of
fer of million dollars for new sto-
mach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-

dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as warn
ing to Others
Everyone who suffers with dyspep-
STA for few years will give every
thing he owns for new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing. The absence of
this destroys the function of the gas
trio fluids. They lose their power to
digest food.
We are now able to supply the
missing element-to restore to the
gastric juices their digestive power,
and to make the stomach strong and
