END STOMACH TROUBLE,
GASES OR DYSPEPSIA
"Pape's Diapepsin" makes sick, sour,
gassy stomaehs surely feel fine
in five minutes.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like lump of
lead, or you belch gas and eructate
sour, undigested food, or have feeling
of dizziness, heartburn, fullness, nausea,
bad taste in mouth and stomach head
ache, you can get relief in five minutes
by neutralizing acidity. Put an end to
such stomach distress now by getting a
large ,fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to suffer
from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stom-
ach disorder caused by food fermentation
due to excessive acid in stomach.
