A LIBERAL OFFER
We Guarantee to Cure Dyspepsia
If We Fail the Medicine
Costs Nothing.

To PROFESSIONALLY prove to
the people that Indigestion and
dyspepsia can be permanently re-
lieved and that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets will bring about this re-
suit, we will furnish the medicine
absolutely free if it fails to give
satisfaction to any one using it.
The remarkable success OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is due
to the high degree of scientific
skill used in devising their for
mula as well as to the care ex-
ercised in their manufacture,
whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth- Subnitrate and
Fepsin have been combined with
Carminatives and other agents.
Bismuth-S ubnitrate and Pep
sin are constantly employed and
recognized by the entire medical
profession as Invaluable in the
treatment of indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is prepared by
a process which develops its
greatest efficiency. Pepsin sup
plies to the digestive apparatus
one of the most important ele-
ments Of the digestive fluid, and
without it the digestion and as
sanitation of food are impossible.
The carminatiyes possess prop
critics which aid in relieving the
disturbances and pain caused by
umdigested food. This perfect
combination Of these ingredients
makes a remedy invaluable for
the complete relief of indigestion
and dyspepsia.
We are 50 certain of this that

.pepsia Tablets on our own per
sonal guarantee Three sizes,
