1900 New York Doctors
Fighting Poison Gas.

Do you know that you folks at home
as well as the brave boys cover there"
are menaced by poison gas"-the
insidious kind that steals away health
and the joy Of living in the pcrpetually
recurring disturbances resulting from
a gassy, sour stomach.
1900 New York physicians regularly
prescribe JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS as the most perfect form
of relief known for these stomach dis
orders. The TABLETS are highly
beneficial for gastric and intestinal
indigestion, heartburn, acid or sour
stomach, natulence and gastric catarrh.
They sure do vanish that poison gas
which is the basis of most stomach
ailments, as well as Danish bad breath
which usually heralds that gas.hlled
stomach.
Get the TABLETS at your drug
store. They insure quick, lasting relief
by taking three to six dissolved in a
glass of water or chewod befofe swall-
owing. Have JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS handy in the dining room
for chronic cases of gastric or intes-
final indigestion as one or two TAB
LETS should be taken before each
meal.
