LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
 HERE'S THE REASON

The fact that there is less dyspep' sia and indigestion in this community than there used to be is largely, We be- lieve, due to the extensive use of Rex all Dyspepsia Tablets, hundreds of packages of which we have sold. No wonder we have faith in them No wonder we are willing to offer them to you for trial entirely at our risk.
 Among other things, they contain Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the great est digestion aids known to medical science. They soothe the inflamed stomach, allay pain, check heartburn and distress, help to digest the food, and tend quickly to restore the stom, ach to its natural, comfortable, healthy state.
 There is no red tape about our guar antee. It means just what it says, We'll ask no questions. Your word is enough for us. If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets don't restore your stomach to health and make your digestion easy and comfortable, we want you to come back for your money. They are sold only at the 1000 Rexall Stores, and in this town only by us. Three sizes, 25c soc and $1.O0. VIM BRITT,

vides that all underground workers
