Ruins Health
of Millions

Besides those painful attacks of in
digestion that awful bloated, lumpy
feeling after eating and downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced it know so well; besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating,
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides all this, ACID D-STOMACH
undermines the health and saps the
strength of millions.
If you don't get rid of those stomach
miseries there is no telling where your
stomach troubles will end. for it is Il
well known scientific fact that many
serious ailments have their start in an
acid-stomach.
Start now-this very day to get rid of
your stomach miseries-take EATONIC
the wonderful remedy that absorbs
the excess acid from the stomach and
brings INSTANT relief. You simply
have no idea how much better, stronger
and brighter you feel at once. 1t drives
out all the gas and bloat, puts an i'm
mediate stop to belching and heartburn,
ends stomach suffering and makes 1t
cool, sweet, comfortable and strong.
There can be no further excuse for
YOU to allow acid-stomach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upon mis-
cry until you get to the point where
you feel down and out and that life has
lost all its joys. Remember, just as
acid-mouth ruins teeth, so acid-stomach
ruins health.
Take EATONIC. It's good, just like
bit of candy and makes the stomach
feel fine. You can then eat the things
you like and, what is more, every
mOuthful you eat will count in creating
power and energy. You'll feel so much
better-have punch and pep-the power
and will to do things and get results,
and your stomach misery Will be gone.
Take our advice. Get big box Of
EATON1C from your druggist today,
it costs so little. If it fails to remove
your stomach distress, he will refund
your money. That is guaranteed. you
are to be satisfied or money refunded.

SAVE YOUR HAIR!
A SMALL BOTTLE
STOPS DANDRUFF
Every bit of dandruff disappears

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

ness and itching of the scalp, which
II not remedled causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Dan
derine tonight-now-any time-will
surely save your hair.
Get O small bottle of Knowlton's 8
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents, and
after the first application your hair
will take on that life, luster and
luXuriance which is so beautiful. 1t

have the appearance of abundance,
an Incompatible gloss and softness;
but what will please you most will
be after just a few weeks use, when
you VIII actually see a lot of fine,
downy hair--new hair-growing all
over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. 1t goes right to
the roots, invigorates and strength
ems them. It's exhilarating and life
producing properties cause the hair
to grow long. strong and beautiful.
