There is often a foul taste in the

The cure for this common and OBJ

digestion is the one necessary thing
to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared
According to DR.. Harlanson. the
safest and best treatment is to use

These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of
