Rutralize the excessive acids in the
h'tmach so your food won't sour and
upset you. There never was anything
so safely quick. so certainly effective.
no difference how badly your stomach
Is upset you usually get happy relief
IN five minutes, but what pleases you
most is that it helps to regulate your
stomach so you can eat your favorfte
foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow. but not sure.
"Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in neu-
tralizing the acidity. so the misery
won't come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as "Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the

stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belch-
ing, no eructations of undigested food.

ifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to suf-
fer from indigestion. dyspepsia or any
stomach disorder due to acid fermen-
tation.-Adv.
