WE HAVE FAITH IN
THIS STOMACH REMEDY.

A woman customer said to us the other
day, "Say, y3u ought to tell everyone in
town about Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. |

thinking. SO many people have used
them and have so enthusiastically sound
ed 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, heart
burn, dyspepsia, or some other stomach
complaint, don't know about thenl-we
are writing this.
They contain Bismuth and Pepsin, two
of the greatest digestive aids known TO
medical science. They soothe 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 bow els.
We believe them to be the best remedy
made for indigestion and dyspepsia. We
certainly wouldn't offer them to you en-
tirely at our risk unless we felt sure they
would do you lot Of good. Ii 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.
