NO stomach PAIN.
Gas. Indigestion
IN FIVE minutes
"Pape's Diapepsinp Is the best antacid
and stomach regulator
known.

Really does put upset stomschs in
order-"really does" overcome indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, gas. heartburn and
sourness due TO acid fermentation in
five minutes-that--iu that makes
Pape's Diapepsin the largest selling

world. II what you eat ferments and
turns sour. you belch gas and eructate
undigested food or water; head Is
dizzy and aches; breath foul; tongue
coated; your insides filled with indi-
gestible waste, remember the moment
"Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact
with the stomach all such distress
vanishes. It's truly astonishing-a
most marvellous, and the joy is ite
harmlessness.
A large ffty-cent case Of Pape's
Diapepsin is worth its weight in gold
to men and women who can't get their
