PROVIDES
THE

AraO.Phosphate. the New Herbal Remedy
Now Endorsed by Local People
If the digestive organs are not pro-
perly performing the work which nature
has assigned to them, then nutrition,
which is absolutely essential to the re-
covery of other diseased parts, will be
lacking and there can be no permanent
relief. When bodily nutrition is nor
NAL, the stomach digests the food, the
blood absOrbs and carries the nourish-
ment to the different parts of the body,
causing the various organs to properly
perform their functions.
Nature has provided a remedy in the
ingredients OF Argo-Phosphate, thenew
herbal stomach remedy, which is now
being introduced here. 1t is purely
vegetable and its vitalizing, corrective
and reconstructive qualities are SO pro-
nonnced that beneficial results are no.
ticed from the first day. That this is
true, it is only necessary to listen to the
statements made daily by local people
who have given Argo-Phosphate a fair
trial and have been benefited thereby.
1t is dispensed by every druggist. ad
