hearing of the gong, wished to give
some tangible evidence of their regard
for the old reporter, but, being in
hurry, left it TO the florist, who knew
him well, to choose the design. He
hit upon a floral badge as the proper
thing. and thus it was that when the
company of mourners was assembled
and the funeral service in progress
there arrived and was set upon the
coffin in full view of all that triumph

Causes 95 per cent
 of Diseases Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles and How to
 Remedy Them

Do not neglect indigestion which leads to all sorts of ills and complica- tions. An eminent doctor once said that ninety-five per cent of all the ills of the humsp body have their origin in 3 disordered stomach.
 A physician who made q speciality of stomach troubles. particularly dyspep- sia. after years of study perfected the formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are made.
 Our experience with Rexall Dys- pepsia Tablets leads us to believe them to be the greatest remedy known for the relief of acute indigestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients are soothing and healing to the in flamed membranes of the stomach. They are rich in pepsin. one of the greatest digestive aids known to mcdi- cine. The relief they afford is almost immediate. Their use with persistency and regularity for a short time brings about cessation of the pains caused by stomach disorders.
 Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure healthy appetite. aid digestion and promote nutrition. As evidence of our sincere faith in Rexali Dyspepsia Tab lets. we ask you to try them at our risk. If they do not give you entire satisfac- ton. we will return you the money you paid us for them. without question or formality. They come in three sizes prices 25 cents. 90 cents and s1.00.
