People who suffer from sour stom- aeh,, fermentation of food, distress after eating and indigestion and seek relief in large chunks of artificial di- gestors, are killing their steinachs by inaction just as surely as the victim of morphine is deadening and injuring beyond repair every nerve in his body.
 What the stomach of every sufferer from indigestion needs is good pre- scription that will build up his stoFn- ach, put strength, energy and elastic ity into it, and make it sturdy enough to digest hearty meal without artifi- ciaI aid.
 The best prescription for indigestion ever written is sold by druggists everywhere and by Lee & osgood Co. and is rigidly guaranteed to build up the stomach and cure indigestion, or money back.
