We have FAITH IN
THIS STOMACH REMEDY

A woman customer said to US the
other day, Say, you ought to tell every
one in town about ReXall Dyspepsia
Tablets. / would myself if l could. +"
That set US to thinking. So many people
have used them and have so enthusiast
tically sounded their praises both to US
and their friends. that we had an idea
you all knew about them. But, in the
chance that some of you who suffer from
indigestion, heartburn, dyspepsia, or
some other stomach complaint, don't t
know about them-we are writing this.
They contain Bismuth and Pepsin, two
of the greatest digestive aids known to
medical science. They sooth and COM
fort the stomach, promote the secretion
of gastric juice, help to quickly digest
the food and convert it into rich, red
blood, and improve the action of the
bowels. We believe them to be the best
remedy made for indigestion and dys-
pepsia. We certainly wouldn't offer
them to you entirely at our risk unless
we felt sure they would do you a Let of
good. If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets do
not relieve your indigestion, check the
heartburn, and make it possible for you
to eat what you like whenever you like,
come back and get your money.
Sold only at the more than 1000 Rex
all Stores, and in this town only at our
store. Three sizes, 25c, SOC, and Sl.00. -
