CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting Of pure vege-
table oil, and said to possess wonder
full merit in the treatment of stomach
and liver and intestinal troubles, has
been introduced in this country by
George II. Mayr, who for twenty
years has been one of the leading
down town druggists of Chicago and
who himself was cured by it's use. So
quick and effective is it's action that
a single dose is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases, and many people who
have tried it declare they never heard
OF anything to produce such remark
able results in so short a time. 1t is
known as Mayr's Wonderful Stomach
Remedy and can now be had at al
most any drug store 1t is now sold
here by Bell & Robinson, and drug
gists everywhere.
