A SOUR, Classy,
UPSET STOMACH
'Pape's Diapepsin" 0vercomes
Your Indigestion in Five
Minutes.

Wonder what upset your stomach
which portion of the food did the dam
age-do you? Well, don't bother. If
your stomach is in a revolt; if sour,
gassy and upset, and what you just
ate has fermented into stubborn
Jumps; your head dizzy and aches;
belch gases and acids and eructate I'M
digested food; breath foul, tongue
coated-just take a little Diapepsin
and in five minutes you truly will
wonder what became of the indiges-
tion>and distress.
Millions OF men and women today
know thai it is needless to have a
bad stomach. A little Diapepsin oc-
casionally keeps this delicate organ
regulated and they eat their fayorite
foods without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
OF your liberal limit without rebel
lion; If your food is a damage instead
of help, remember the quickest, sur
est, most harmless relief is Pape's
Diapepsin which costs only so cents
for large case at drug stores. It's
truly wonderful digests food ard
sets things straight, so gently and
easily that 1t is really astonishing.
Please, for your sake, don't go on with
"a weak, disordS-ed stomach; it's SO
unnecessary.
