CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptoms that Should
Not Be Disregarded

Appetite is just natural desire OF
the system for food necessary to replace
natural body waste. Loss of appetite
or stomach distress after eating indi-
Gates indigestion or dyspepsia. Over
eating is a habit, very dangerous TO a
PERSONS good general health, and in
satiable appetite is common symp-
tom of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heaviest
and healthiest persons are moderate
eaters.
There is nothing that will create sick
ness or cause more trouble than dis
ordered stomach, and many people daily
contract serious maladies 81 mply
through disregard or abuse of the stom-
ach.
We urge everyone suffering from any
stomach arrangement, indigestion or
dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic, to
try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the
distinct understanding that we will re-
fund their money without question or
formality, if after reasonable use of this
medicine they are not satisfied with
the results. We recommend them to
our customers every day and have yet
TO hear of anyone who has not been
benefited by them.
We honestly believe Rexa!l Dyspep-
STA Tablets to be without equal. They
are made from the prescription of a
physician who devoted his time to the
study and treatment of stomach trou-
bles. They give very prompt relief,
stimulating the secretion of gastric
juices, strengthen the digestive organs,
aid to good digestion and assimilation,
regulate the bowels and promote nutri-
ton.
We urge you to try 25-cent box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which give
Is days treatment. AT the end OF that
time your money will be returned TO
you if you are not satisfied. OF course,
in chronic cases length of treatment
varies. For such cases we have two
larger sizes, which sell for 80 cents and
$l.00. Remember you can obtain Rex
all Remedies in Bedding only at our
store,-The Rexall Store. Council Bros.
