You men who work long hours in
the fields under a blazing sun-you've
got to be big eaters, because your food
is your strength, and now, more than
ever, your strength is badly needed.
So guard your health. Be sure and
watch your stomach, for in the sum-

traced to stomach and bowel COM

hearty midday meal, and also how
liable he is to sudden attacks of stom-
ach miseries. So cool off in the shade
before going back to work. Don't take
chances. ~
Take care of your stomach, friend.
You know you can't work well with
your stomach out of fix. Safety first"
must be your motto, so send to your
druggist and get big box Of EAT.

the wonderful new compound for the
quick relief of stomach and bowel mis-
cries. 1t was originated by FL. L. Kra-
mer, the man who made millions Of
people happy with his first great REM
edy, Cascarets.
Now, all you need do is to take a
tablet or two of EAToNIc after your
meals. It's good-just like eating
candy. Enjoy the quick, sure relief
