To unquestionably prove 10 the peo- pie that indigestion and dyspepsia can be permanently relieved and that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will bring about this result, We will furnish the medicine absolutely free if il fails to give satisfaction to anyone using it.
 The remarkable success of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is due 10 the high degree of scientific skill used in devis- ing their formula as well as 10 the care exercised in their manufacture whereby the welI-kn0wn properties of Bismuth-Sabnitrate and Pepsin have been com Dined with Carminatiyes and other agents.
 Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are constantly employed and recognized by the entire medical profession as in- valuable in the treatment of indiges- tion and dyspepsia.
 The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspep- sia Tablets is carefully prepared so as to develop it's greatest efficiency. Pep. sin supplies to the digestive appara- tus one of the most important ele- ments of the digestive fluid. With out il the digestion and assimilation of food are impossible.
 The Garminatiyes possess properties which aid in relieving the disturb ances and pain caused by undigested food. This combination of these in- gradients make d remedy valuable for the complete relief of indigestion and dyspepsia.
