ages of the the budget system over
the present methods OF estimating the

A Wonderful Tonic
That Aids Digestion

Thousands are unable to digest GER
tain kinds of food. In most cases it 10
not the fault Of the food, nor the stom-
ach. It is probable that the stomach
has bee, abused. Many resort to pre-
digested foods and various kinds of
medicines to get relief from dyspepsia,
indigestion and heartburn, but without
permanent benefit.
If your stomach was in perfect con-
dition, you would not need medicine 70
ligest the foods you eat. Jayne 3 Tonic
Vermifpge is a stomach regulator. 1t
gets tha stomach in such a condition
that it will digest food without other
assistance. 1t overcomes the acidtty
and stimulates the coating of the
stomach and intestines SO that they
will properly absorb and assin,ilate the
nutriment from the food eaten. Suf-
ferers from dyspepsia and indigestion
will find permanent relief in a short
time after beginning the use of the
tonic. For children, the addition of a
little s1lgar will make it most pala-
table.
Many forms of supposed indigestion
are the result of Intestinal parasites,
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is
unsurpassed Insist upon Jayne g; ac-
cept no ether Millions have praised
it for more than eighty years. Sold
