Not So Strange After All.

You may think it strange that so many
people are cured of stomach trouble by
Chamberlain Tablets. You would not,
however, if you should give them a trial.
They strengthen and invigorate the
stomach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. Mrs. Rosie Rish,
Wabash. Ind, writes: Nothing did me
the least good until began using Cham
berlain's Tablets. 1t is decidedly the
best medicine for stomach trouble have
ever used" For sale by all dealers.
