CAUSES MUCH DISEASE.
Advice About Stomach Troubles and
How to Relieve Them.

DO not neglect indigestion which
may lead to all sorts of ills and COM
plications. An eminent physician
once said that niuety-five per cent of
all the ills of the human body have
their origin in a disordered stomach.
Our experience with ReXall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be among the most depend
able remedies known for the relief
of indigestion and chronic dyspepsia
Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the infiamed membranes of
the stomach. They are rich in pepsin,
one of the greatest digestive aids
known to medicine. The relief they
afford is very prompt. Their use with
persistency and regularity for a short
time tends to bring about a cessation
of the pains caused by stomach dis
orders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets help to in
sure healthy appetite, to aid digestion,
and thus promote nutrition. AS evil
dence of our sincere faith in Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets, we ask you to try
them at our risk. If they do not give
you entire satisfaction, we will return
you the money you paid us for them,
without question or formality. They
come in three sizes, prices 25 cents, so
cents, and $l.00. Remember, you can
obtain them only at our store-The
Rexall Store. F. w. Bucknam.
