HERE IS A REAL
DYSPEPSIA CASE
No Indigestion, Gas, Heart
burn or Headache five
minutes later

The question as to how long you
are going to continue a sufferer from
Indigestion, Dyspepsia or out-of-or-
der Stomach is merely a matter Of
how soon you begin taking some
Diapepsin.
If your Stomach is lacking in di-
gestive power, why not help the
stomach to do its work. not with
drastic drugs, but a reinforcement
of digestive agents, such as are nat
urally at work in the stomach.
People with weak Stomachs should
take a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indiges-
tion, no feeling like lump Of lead in
the stomach, no heartburn, Sour ris-
ings, Gas or Stomach or Belching of
undigested food, Headaches. Dizzi-
ness or Sick Stomach, and. besides,
what you eat will not ferment and
poison your breath with nauseOus
odors. All these symptoms resulting
from a sour, out-of-order stomach
and dyspepsia are generally relieved
I'm five minutes after taking a little
Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a 90
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now.
and you will always go to the table
with hearty appetite, and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be clean
and fresh, and you will know there
are not going to be any more bad
nights and miserable days for you.
They freshen you and make you feel
like life is worth living.
