loses his self-control, and is utterly
unable to regard his condition with
the common sense that characterizes
his everyday actions.
For example; He comes home tired
eats heavy dinner and sits down to
read and smoke away a quiet even
ing.
Suddenly he notices a weight on
his stomach; then sharp pains
around his heart, and a feeling of
sufiocatlon. Thouhts OF "heart dis
ease" rush over him, and in his
agony he fears the worst.
His trouble was acute indigestion,
brought on by overlooking his tirad
stomach
A couple of Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
tets might have given him relief
might have saved him hours of suf-
fering.

sla Tablets in your vest pocket or

indigestion.

There is more catarrh in this ser

diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven eatarrh to
be a constitutional disease and there

the seas of her occupations serenely, is
brisk, businesslike and cheerful and ap-
parently doesn't know what fatigue

OF course, wasn't at all surprised when
