YOUR STOMACH FEELS FINE.
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Sourness, Gas
and All Stomach Misery Ended
in Five Minutes.

This harmless preparation will
promptly digest anything you eat and
overcome a sick, sour, gassy or out-of-
order stomach within five minutes.
If your meals don't fit comfortably.
or what you eat lies like a lump Of
lead in your stomach, or If you have
heartburn that is a sign Of Indigestion.
Get from any drug store here In
town a 50-Cent case of Pape's Diapep-
sin and take a dose just as soon as
you can. There will be no sour ris-
ings, no belching Of undigested food
mixed with acid, no stomach gas or
heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling
in h stomach, Nausea, Debilitating
Headaches, Dizziness or Intestinal
gripping. This will all go, and, besides.
there will be nc sour food left over
in the stomach to poison your breath
with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain regula-
tor for out-of.order stomachs, and be-
sides it takes hold of your food and
digests it just the same as il your
stomach wasn't there.
These large 50.cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thoroughly
cure any case of Dyspepsia. Indiges-
ton or any other stomach disorder.
Remember, if your stomach feels
out Of order and uncomfortable now,
you can get relief in five minutes BY
taking a little D~iapepsin.
