Causes Much Disease
Advice about Stomach Troubles
and how to relieve them.


Don't neglect indigestion, for 1t
NAV lead to all sorts of ills and COM
plications. An eminent physician
once said that ninety-hve per cen, OF
all Ills have their origin IN dis
ordered stomach.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be one of the most dependable
remedies known for indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredi;
ents are soothing to the infamed
membranes Of the stomach. Rich
in Pepsin and Bismuth, two OF the
greatest digestive aids known to
medicine, the relief they afford IS
very prompt. Used persistently and
regularly for short time, they tend
to relieve pains caused by stomach
disorders.
Rexau Dyspepsia Tablets help
insure healthy appetite, aid diges-
ton, and promote nutrition. AS
evidence of our faith in them, we ask
you to try them at our risk Ii they
do not give entire satisfaction. we
will return the money you paid us
without question or formality. Three
sizes, % cents, so cents and Sl.oO.

7 TURKS ONCE
MORE HOLD
HOLY CITY
Advancing Forces Of the Sultan
Enter Adrianople, Meeting With
But Slight Resistance from the
Dispirited Bulgarian Garrison
That Has Been Occupying the
Place.

LONDON, July 21.-(By Asso-
ciated Press Cable)-Despite the
reported declaration of Russia that
the Turks would not be permitted
to re.take Adrianople, the troops
of the Sultan entered the holy city
of Moslem today, according to a
Times special, meeting with but
slight resistance from the dispirit-
ed Bulgarian garrison. Thus, the
city which cost the armies of the
allied Balkan Balkan States thou
sands of men to take, is once more
in the possession of the Turks who
surrendered it only after desperate
and prolonged resistance.
The re occupation of Adrian
ople, it is feared, will result in a
re-opening of the entire Balkan
question, and may lead to armed
Intervention by the Powers.
