Consultation and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from indigestion are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs. Rob-
ert Allison, Mattoon, ILL.,, writes that
when she first moved to Nation she
was a great sufferer from indigestion
and constipation. Food distressed her
and there was a feeling like heavy
weight pressing on her stomach and
chest. She did not rest well at night,
and felt worn out good part of the
time. One bottle of Chamberlain's
Tablets corrected this trouble so that
she has since felt like different per-
son.
