AWAY GOES DYSPEPSIA.
Indigestion, Heartburn, Gas and All
Stomach Misery Vanishes.

Take your sour, out-of-order stom-
ach-or maybe you call it Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh
of Stomach; 1t doesn't matter
take your stomach trouble right with
you TO your Pharmacist and ask him
To open a 50-cent case of Pape's Dia-
pepsin and let you eat one 22-gFain
Triangule and see if within FIVE min
utes there is left any trace of your
former misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is Food Fermentation-foOd souring;
the Digestive organs become weak,
there is lack of gastric juice; your
food is only half digested, and you
become affected with loss Of appetite
pressure and fullness after eating
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gripping
in bowles. tenderness in the pit of
stomach, bad taste in mouth, cOnsti
patton, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching of gas, biliousness, sick
headache, nervousness, dizziness or
many other similar symptoms
If your appetite is tickle and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or
if you feel bloated after eating, or
your food lies a lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there
is but one cause-fermentation Of
undigested food
Prove to yourself in five minutes
that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort of misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely a matter of how
soon you take a little Diapepsin.

The empty joys are the unshared
ones.
A spasm of virtue often indicates
n sick soul.
No man grows until he let's out his
heart little.
No one possesses happiness who is
blind to sorrow
Love always loses when II thinks
only of what it will gain.
Grace is free, but the religious man
need not be free from grace
If your religion is sunshine you will
not need to argue about it.
It's always easier to give your life
than it Is to give your leisure.
Our good deeds seldom bear fruit
until we have forgotten them.
Getting to heaven is a good deal
more than backing up from hell.
No man sees>anything as 1t is un-
less he sees that which is not.
The heart without fellow feeling
can have no room for divine faith.
The way to the sorrow free lard
IS to try to free some life from sorrow
There is lot of difference between
good will and willingness to be good
Often you must forget the good yor
have won to reach the good yol
would be.
You can always get the price of The
man who wears his pride on the out
side-Chicago Tribune.
