improvement in the appetite and the
ability to eat and digest without dis
comfort food that formerly caused the
most acute distress.
Mr.. l.. w. Bowen of No. 81 Albany

stomach trouble to hurried eating and
lack OF exercise. The manner in which he
found relief win interest others who suf-
fer as he did.

treated by different physicians and took

seemed to help me to any extent until
