STOMACH MISERY VANISHES
Indigestion, Gas, Sourness and Dys-
pepsla Go and Your Stomach Feels
Fine in Five Minutes.

If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like lump Of lead in
your stomach, or II you have heart
burn or a sick, sour, upset or gassy
stomach, that is sign Of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a
little just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings, no belching
of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nau-
sea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizzi-
ness or Intestinal gripping. This will
all go, and besides, there will be no
undigested food left over in the stom-
ach to poison your breath with nause-
GUS odors.
Pape's Dfapepsin is certain cure for
out-of-order stomachs, because 1t pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold Of
your food and digests it Just the same
as If your stomach wasn't Ghere.
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ach misery is waiting for you at any
drug store here in town.
These large 50-cent cases of Pape's
DIapepsin contain more than sufficient
to thoroughly cure any case of Dys-
pepsia, Indigestion, Gastritis or any
other stomach disturbance.

AIaska,s Disastrous Floods.

Cordova, Alaska.-A disastrous
flood caused by the loosening of the
waters of an internal lake in Bering
glacier, swept the Bering river valley
devastating large section of the coun-
try southwest of the great ice field.
Many miners cabins were swept away
and grave fears are entertained for
the lives of the occupants. Icebergs
of gigantic sige were torn loose from
the glacier and dumped into the river
Swept before the huge rush of water,
which caused the Bering river to rise
ten feet in four hours, the great
masses of ice carried everything be-
fore them. Cabins near the river were
carried out by the water and then
ground to pieces by the ice.
