that ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets will
bring about this result, we will fur
nish the medicine absolutely free II
It fails to give satisfaction to any

The remarkable success of ReXall
Dyspepsia Tablets is due to the high
degree OF scientific skill used in de-
yising their formula as we'll as to the
care exercised in their manufacture
whereby the well-knonn properties
of Bismuth-Subnitrat and Pepsin
have been combined with Carmina-
tives and other agents.
Observation-Disclosures and Pepslh
are constantly employed and recog-
MED by the entire medical profess
ion as invaluable in the treatment Of
indigestion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets is carefully prepared 50
as to develop its greatest efficiency
Pepsin supplies to the digestive ap-
paratus one of the most important
elements OF the digestive fluid.
Without 1t the digestionand assim-
ilation of food are impossible.
The Carminatives posses properties
which aid in relieving the disturb
