Proper Food for Weak stOmachs

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one should
adopt diet suited to his age and occu-
patton. Those who have weak stomachs
need to be especially careful and should
eat slowly and masticate their food thor
oughly. 1t is also important that they
keep their bowels regular. When they
become constipated or when they feel
dull and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to strength
en- the stomach and move the bowels.
They are easy to take and pleasant in
effect.
