Relief from Dyspepsia
Simple Method Which Should
BE Tried by Every
Sufferer.

There is no sufferer from dySpep-
sia or other digestive troubles but
what would be greatly benefited by
a diet embodying principally the Won
derful food product known as matted
milk.
This is strong statement and
must be qualified by adding that the
results will depend largely upon the
quality of matted milk used.
No trouble should be experienced
in the selection of the best matted
milk, however, in view of the recent
action of the Panama Pacific Exposi
ton at San Francisco, which awarded
"The Grand Prize" (highest possible
awaid) to that famous brand known
the world over as "Borden's Matted
Milk in the Square Package"
DO not allow yourself to become
discouraged, therefore, until YOU have
tried Borden's. By a special process
of manufacture, the casein of the

lassimiate and digest it.
This perfect brand contains in alb
solutely correct proportions the ele
ments that supply and rebuild wastes

you are sick or WELL weak or strong,
! Borden's Matted Milk will prove bene-
ficial to you.
