Sour Stonuch.

This is a mild form of indiges- tion. It is usually brought on by eating too rapidly or too much, or of food not suited to your di- gestive organs. If you will eat slowly, masticate your food thor ougly, eat but little meat and none at all for supper, you will more than likely avoid the sour stomach without taking any med icine whatever. When you have sour stomach take one of Cham berlain's Tablets to aid digestion.
