ACTUAL STARVATION.
Facts About Indigestion and Its Re-
lief That Should Interest You.

Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
cure. There is no reason why most
people should not eat anything they de-
sire-if they will only chew it carefully
and thoroughly. Many actually starve
themselves into sickness through fear
of eating every good-looking, good
smelling. and good-tasting food, be-
cause it does not agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit yourself
to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dyspepsia.
We are SO confident of this fact that
we guarantee and promise to supply
the medicine free of all cost to every
one who will use it, who is not perfect
" satisfied with the results which it
produces. We exact no promises, and
put no one under any obligation what
ever. Surely, nothing could be fairer.
We are located right here and our rep
utation should be sufficient assurance
of the genuineness of our offer.
We want every one troubled with
Indigestion or Dyspepsia in any form
to come to our store and buy a box Of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them
home and give them reasonable trial,
according to directions. Then, if not
satisfied, come to US and get your
money back. They are very pleasant
to take; they aid to soothe the irritable
stomach, to strengthen and invigorate
the digestive organs, and to promote
healthy and natural bowel action, thus
leading to perfect and healthy diges-
tion and assimilation.
A Csc package of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets furnishes Is days treatment.
In ordinary cases, this is sufficient to
produce a cure. In more chronic cases,
longer treatment, of course, is nee
essary, and depends upon the severity
of the trouble. For such cases, we
have two larger sizes which sell for so
cents and 81. Remember, you ran oh
